About the Book

A Spanish-language manual for a healthy heart. Author Raúl Guerrero chronicles a cardiovascular disease that provoked multiple heart attacks as an educational tool. In collaboration with Dr. Mauro Moscucci, his cardiologist, Mr. Guerrero adds to the book an encyclopedic survey, ranging from heart mechanics and risk factors to disease, diagnosis, treatment and medications. Also covers life style strategies to prevent, control and revert heart disease. Spanish-language Description El escritor Raúl Guerrero recuenta la enfermedad cardiovascular que desató múltiples infartos, utilizando la experiencia vivida en carne propia como herramienta pedagógica. Y el cardiólogo Mauro Moscucci, desde la perspectiva de científico en ejercicio de su profesión, formula las estrategias que le han permitido revertir la enfermedad del paciente y sobrellevarla exitosamente por quince años. Es una colaboración única entre cardiólogo y paciente. Estructura El libro se divide en cuatro partes: 1.Primera Parte: La biografía como estudio clínico, enfoca-da en las actitudes y hábitos conducentes a los factores de riesgo. 2.Segunda Parte: Una investigación periodística de los fac-tores culturales y ambientales conducentes a la alta inciden-cia de enfermedades cardiovasculares en las comunidades hispanas. 3.Tercera Parte: Un vistazo enciclopédico del corazón: fac-tores de riesgo, las enfermedades, diagnóstico y los trata-mientos quirúrgicos y farmacológicos. Incluye un capítulo sobre la mujer y otro sobre la niñez y la juventud. 4.Cuarta Parte: Estrategias para alcanzar un estilo de vida saludable. Se enfoca en la dieta y el ejercicio para controlar la presión arterial alta, el colesterol, la diabetes tipo 2, la obesidad y el estrés. Estrategias para dejar de fumar. Inclu-ye un capítulo sobre la sexualidad. Cabe destacar dos secciones intercaladas a lo largo del libro: Postales de las zonas de riesgo y DICE EL DOCTOR. La primera consiste en casos reales que muestran los caminos hacia las situa-ciones de riesgo. La segunda recopila las preguntas e inquietudes de los pacientes. Ambas secciones se presentan en viñetas que retie-nen el elemento humano que a menudo se le escapa a la ciencia. "No se trata de teorizar en el vacío," dice el Dr. Moscucci, "Cróni-ca del CORAZÓN encierra el drama, los traumas, las oportunida-des, incluso el humor que hacen de la vida una fuente inagotable de inspiración para el arte y los estudios científicos".
