But recent studies show that your emotions as well as Mindbody practices such as guided imagery and meditation have an equally powerful influence. Now, building on the success of his earlier interactive kits, Dr. Andrew Weil presents a comprehensive approach to heart health, with The Healthy Heart Kit. Featuring medical experts Stephen Devries, M.D. (a pioneering preventive cardiologist specializing in integrative approaches to heart health), Erin Olivo, Ph.D. (clinical psychologist and director of the Integrative Medicine Program at Columbia University), and Martin L. Rossman, M.D. (founder of The Healing Mind and a leader in the therapeutic use of guided imagery), The Healthy Heart Kit offers a truly comprehensive action plan for lifelong wellness that includes: * Dr. Weil's Anti-inflammatory diet, emphasizing omega 3-rich foods, healthy carbohydrate choices, and delicious variety * New advances for heart health by Dr. Devries, integrating the latest science with an emphasis on natural approaches * Dr. Olivo's best exercises for optimizing the nervous system--mindfulness, stress release, and lovingkindness * Guided imagery--proven medically effective in study after study--in a 30-minute healing session with Dr. Rossman Combining all these strategies in one convenient program, including a 56-page workbook and thirty-five useful cards, provides an excellent way to begin a lifelong regimen for heart health.

The Healthy Heart Kit (Hardcover)

Product Description: This reference thoroughly equips you to successfully diagnose and manage even the most complex incidences of diastolic heart failure and their comorbidities. It examines the basic mechanisms of this condition through discussions of both cellular and anatomic causes; guides you through non-invasive techniques for diagnosis, including echocardiography, cardiac CT, and MRI; and provides expert advice on pharmacologic management. Case examples on the accompanying CD-ROM provide a greater understanding of the diagnostic process.

Diastology: Clinical Approach to Diastolic Heart Failure (Hardcover)

Product Description: The Workings of the Subtle Heart is a literary work of narrative non-fiction, a funny and intimate piece, of sudden beauty and power. Based upon an awakening into God, the book evokes the spiritual life, and calls the reader to insight of the subtle heart, and to how the subtle heart perceives reality beneath the apparent reality of the world. In The Workings of the Subtle Heart, William Widmer reveals how this capacity is used in science and in love, in poetry and religion, as the fulminating core of discernment.

Starling's Law of the Heart Revisited (Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine) (Hardcover)

Product Description: Angina pectoris with normal coronary arteriograms is a common entity which has puzzled cardiologists almost since the advent of coronary arteriography. Despite major advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of angina in recent years and a multitude of studies on the subject, the cause and mechanisms underlying the syndrome of angina with normal coronary arteries remain unknown. Indeed, results of investigations are controversial and speculation still prevails regarding the nature of the so called `Syndrome X'. Almost every important aspect of Syndrome X has been tackled in the book and the reader is exposed not only to the cardiologists' opinion, but also to the authoritative views of the gastroenterologists, gynaecologists and psychiatrists, extremely well represented in this monograph. The book deals with `cardiologists' Syndrome X' and not the metabolic entity termed `Syndrome X'. The possible connection between the two, however, is discussed. Angina with Normal Coronary Arteries: Syndrome X contributes to the understanding of Syndrome X and helps clinicians manage their Syndrome X-patients better and investigators to open new avenues for research.

Angina Pectoris with Normal Coronary Arteries: Syndrome X (Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine) (Hardcover)

Product Description: This study covers the latent demand outlook for pharmaceutical preparations for human use acting on the cardiovascular system across the states and cities of the United States. Latent demand (in millions of U.S. dollars), or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.) estimates are given some 12,920 cities across in the United States. For each city in question, the percent share the city is of it’s state and of the United States is reported. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a city vis-à-vis others. This statistical approach can prove very useful to distribution and/or sales force strategies. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each state and city, latent demand estimates are created for pharmaceutical preparations for human use acting on the cardiovascular system. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

Pathophysiology of Heart Disease: A Collaborative Project of Medical Students and Faculty (Paperback)

Product Description: Dr. Louis Ignarro discovered the molecule of cardiovascular healthNitric Oxide (NO)which is produced naturally by the human body and serves as a regulator of blood pressure to help prevent blood clots. The problem is that many people find this out too late, going through life without understanding that this all-important molecule is the difference between healthy living and a heart attack. With all the focus on new diets, Dr. Ignarros research is all the more vital. In an easy-to-follow planwhich discusses NO friendly foods and informs about supplements to stimulate NO productionhe lays out a regimen that age-proofs the cardiovascular system, keeping it clean and the blood vessels strong. The Say Yes to NO program allows readers to tap into the bodys own cardiovascular drug and discover that the littlest molecule can make a tremendous difference.
