Living with a Heart Bypass by Robert Povey
Heart disease is one of the major causes of illness and death in the UK, heart bypass surgery, once a rare and complicated operation, has become commonplace. This book will describe experiences encountered by people before treatment and discuss reasons for performing a bypass operation. Preparing for surgery, stresses involved in waiting for the operation, and what to expect afterwards are covered. The authors also examine both physical and psychological aspects of a heart bypass operation, including advice on lifestyle for the future. The book will include case studies. There will be a frequently asked questions section, a glossary and directory of further resources.
