Dear Reader,

What's the first thing you do when diagnosed with heart disease? If you're like most of my patients, you'll learn everything you can about the disorder to become the best-informed health consumer you can be.

But where do you start? The library? The internet? How can you tell what's current...what's accurate...what's safe? Your own physician? If only doctors had the kind of time required to give their patients the in-depth education they want and need.

Introducing...

Johns Hopkins White Paper: Coronary Heart Disease Cover

The 2008 Johns Hopkins White Paper: Coronary Heart Disease
