This is an excellent and reassuring guide for loved ones and caregivers of someone with heart disease. As someone whose family member was recently diagnosed with a heart condition, I found especially useful the lists of suggested questions for different medical professionals, medications and their side effects, and fillable medical background. Dr. Shah's advice is practical and well-organized.

This would be a good purchase for an individual or a mid- to large-sized public library collection. My only hesitation in getting it for our library would be if someone decides to fill in all the worksheets. But otherwise it should be very useful.
