O knihe

MORBID OBESITY: WILL YOU ALLOW IT TO KILL YOU?

Following the style of his previous books, Sex and the Cardiac Patient and Answering
Your Questions About Heart Disease and Sex, informative, educational, entertaining, and
bold, Dr. Eduardo Chapunoff takes us this time into the complex world of the morbidly
obese.

This work describes how and why the cardiovascular and other systems become affected
by excessive weights. His own simple, schematic illustrations will help you to understand
how morbid obesity leads to heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, sleep apnea, and many
other conditions, including sudden death.

Major treatment decisions are facilitated by Dr. Chapunoff's down-to-earth explanations.
Also addressed here is the unfairness and ineffectiveness of some insurance corporations in
covering the costs of weight-loss surgery. For many of those who read this book -patients as
well as health care practitioners and undergraduates- the concepts and the understanding
of what morbid obesity is all about will never be the same.
