Its functionality gives us blood and oxygen, without which, no other organs can survive. Life knows no other means if your heart gives way. When we realize the vital importance of this organ we should also recognize our duties to keep it healthy and functioning perfectly. Yes, sometimes nature cannot be combated with, but self induced harshness on this asset of the body is our loss indeed. Heart conditions, once deteriorated, require continuous precautions for the rest of the life with the fear of another attack dangling dangerously above your head. So we will tell you the better way, the precautions we can take up earlier in our lives to keep this tragic event at bay. This book is about you recognizing what your heart is and provides you with knowledge of the symptoms of when its health is deteriorating in various forms. We provide you with health tips and, most essentially, the first aid steps if you witness a heart disease. Once caught in a trap of heart disease, we add steps that you have to adopt, as now they will not be an option but will be an imposition upon you. So it is always better to keep things under your control rather than at the mercy of medicine or forced precautions."
