When Dr. Bob Arnot's father -- himself a distinguished doctor -- died of a massive heart attack, it came as a horrible shock. A heart attack can happen to anyone, but upon further investigation, Dr. Arnot came to believe that his father's death could have been prevented. The tragedy inspired Dr. Arnot to write this book, exploring all the very latest developments in medical science, many of which have come to light only recently, and developing steps that can help people avoid his father's fate. Dr. Bob discusses how to:

Know the warning signs

Determine your risk

Get the right diagnosis

Get the right medications

Get the right procedures

Based on extensive discussions with renowned experts in the field of cardiology, Seven Steps to Stop a Heart Attack covers all the risks, symptoms, procedures, and medications in prose that is clear, concise, and easy to follow. For a country in which half a million people die each year from heart attacks, this is a work of profound importance for the general public and physicians alike.

Industry Reviews

Dr. Dean Ornish, president and director of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute Dr. Bob Arnot's approach is one of the most comprehensive and useful.
James L. McGuire, M.D., chief of staff, Stanford University Hospital Dr. Arnot's advice is both inspirational and practical.
