Cardiovascular diseases are the chief causes of death in industrialised countries.
That is why the emphasis must be put on prevention, which usually means performing simple actions that are available to everyone. The best person to pass on the message is without doubt the general practitioner, who has the advantage of being close to patients and knowing them and their environment well, and who is best placed to coordinate the efforts required on all sides.
- How can you help patients to stop smoking?
- What practical advice should you give about improving diet?
- What are the advantages of regular physical exercise and how can you persuade patients of this?
All these simple guidelines are summed up in this factual, practical book.
The benefits of each preventive action are dealt with alongside the best way to present the issues to patients, so as to encourage them to gradually apply the advice given.
A very useful book for all general practitioners.
