A practical guide to understanding, preparing for, and recovering after heart surgery.
Tell me when it’s availableYou have just been told you need heart surgery. The words arrive faster than the understanding, and within a day or two you are handed a folder of papers, a surgery date, and a hundred questions you did not know to ask. This book answers them, in plain language, from the people who do this work every day.
What your operation involves, what every test and imaging result means, and the questions to ask your surgeon, cardiologist, and anesthesiologist.
Nutrition, exercise, medications, dental care, and infection prevention before surgery, with fill‑in worksheets for your care team, medications, and appointments.
The ICU hour by hour, pain and sleep, breathing and walking, cardiac rehab, driving, work, mood, and the guidance families and caregivers need.
