Editorial Reviews for The InVision Guide to a Healthy Heart
|
|
Introducing the InVision Health Guides, the dramatic new way to look at our health. This groundbreaking book brings heart health insights to readers more vividly than most medical professionals have seen. While other heart books are text–heavy with standard images of the heart, this book offers a fabulous, full–color journey through the cardiovascular system using what author Alexander Tsiaras calls "the science of visualization" a groundbreaking visual technology that sees into body tissue in many dimensions and at multiple points in time. The result: stunning visuals that are not merely reflections of the surface of an object (a blood cell, artery, or a heart valve), but are dimensional renderings. In this visually–driven health book, we see the heart in all its miraculous function, view what can go wrong, and learn options for achieving cardiovascular health. It reveals: o The development of the cardiovascular system from conception to birth o The marvel of the adult cardiovascular system and how it works o How hypertension and other risk factors insidiously damage this beautiful, powerful system o Surgical, medical, and lifestyle strategies for cardiovascular health By showing the astonishing beauty of the heart in action, this inspiring book makes the urgency of maintaining heart health real and relevant as never before.

Customer Rating:  
Summary: health
Comment: I found this book to be informative and readily understandable. I believe it is a good reference book most of us should have.
Customer Rating:
Summary: AWESOME!!!
Comment: This book shows the body in such detail that you don't have to be a doctor and already know what you're looking at to know what you're looking at. The drawings are beautiful and really help give life to the words. It doesn't start and stop with "this is the heart," but starts with conception, how the heart develops, what else is affected by the heart (and the rest of the cardiovascular system), high blood pressure, stroke...
I gave a copy to everyone in my family and to my GP so that he can recommend it to others.
A must for everyone!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must read for every male over 40!
Comment: This is an excellent visual experience that drives home the need for starting, and continuing, healthy heart practices. This is such a tremendous eye-opening experience that I gave a copy to the people who run the Heart Re-hab sessions at the local hospital - where I went for two months. I also gave one to my brother, who had a quadruple bypass about five years ago, because he was not taking as good care of himself as is loved ones wanted him to.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice pictures
Comment: Call this book Healthy Heart 101. The pictures are spectacular. The prose is basic, which isn't all bad. I consider this a decent reference book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: you ain't seen nothing like this!
Comment: this book is truely awe-inspiring! one gets hypnotized looking at the pictures, thinking, "i've got all that going on inside me--right now!" the visuals are so fantanstic and yet so truly real that they urge you to seriously reconsider your relationship with yourself. this book is a statement on the miracle that you are. it gives you a very deep sense of respect for your own heart and your own life. anyone who has a heart will fall in love with this one!
