Part 1 describes various types of cardiovascular diseases in detail. Part 2 describes the risk factors which would surely benefit any reader. The risk factors in childhood and youth have been highlighted and this should clearly spread the message in the masses. The role of tobacco has been effectively dealt with. The role of physical inactivity is very important in coronary heart disease and the authors have given much needed information in this regard. The role of women as defined by the authors rightly assumes special importance in day to day life. Part 3 discusses the global burden and costs. The useful data may be important for future planning and course of action. Part 4 describes the research aspect and Organizations involved in controlling this disease.
In today's fast paced world, less people pay attention to the prevention and control of coronary heart disease at the personal level and the conscientious approach by the author has clearly taken a step to expunge the problem.
