Features: This book introduces what coronary heart disease is, its occurrence/discovery/prevention.

According to data published by the World Health Organization (WHO), 24.7% of total deaths in the United States are due to coronary heart disease, and Northern Ireland has the highest mortality rate for coronary heart disease worldwide, at 536 per 100,000. In China, based on statistics from 16 provinces and cities that ended in 1993 covering a population of 5 million, although the incidence and mortality rates of coronary heart disease are lower than international levels, they are on the rise. Coronary heart disease has become one of the most serious threats to human health. However, in fact, coronary heart disease can be completely prevented and treated. If reasonable diets and medications are used in daily life to control high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and prevent the progression of arteriosclerosis, while also avoiding smoking, emotional excitement, and paying attention to weather changes, patients with coronary heart disease can live just like healthy people. Details determine success or failure; whether medications are used accurately and dietary plans are reasonable determines the success of treatment. This book introduces the basic knowledge, common medications, nutritional needs, and dietary recipes for coronary heart disease. Most importantly, it provides common knowledge about medication use and dietary planning for patients with coronary heart disease. This book combines scientific rigor, practicality, and systematicity, making it an excellent guide and companion for every patient with coronary heart disease.
