About this listen

Become body literate with Heart: An Owner's Guide, the next book in The Body Literacy Library, an enlightening series that will democratise health for a new generation of listeners.

Heart: An Owner's Guide is an informative, practical, and engaging introduction to all aspects of heart health with the goal of living well and longer. Find out what is the key to a long, healthy life, and what is your own personal cardiac risk.

Author Dr Paddy Barrett is an engaging and media-friendly Consultant Cardiologist who specialises in preventative health care. He translates medical jargon into simple, clear prose, answering frequently asked patient queries, such as Should I take aspirin? Are heart attacks hereditary? Is red wine healthy? Why do I have erectile dysfunction? and much more.

From what you should eat (or not) and exercising smarter to why stress is as dangerous as smoking, this hard-working book applies science to the everyday, with FAQs and myth busters, all supported by the latest medical research. Heart: An Owner's Guide won't just help you to better understand your body, it might even save your life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Really well written and structured. Positive message emphasising the value of prevention to avoid heart disease but also advice for those who may already have heart disease. Good value. narrators mispronounciation is a minor distraction.

Superb book that simplifies and effectively communicates the knowledge required to understand all aspects of heart and health management for a longer healthier life. Excellent illustrations that help in demystifying complex medical science. Armed with this improved knowledge next step is to taken action on the preventative actions and lifestyle changes recommended. I will be gifting a copy of the book to my siblings.

Clarity of information and illustrations

Very technical. Could have done with some real life examples of patients who managed to turn it around.

Good Technical Review.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

A much more technical book than I was expecting, spoiled by frequent mispronunciations by the narrator - should have used a medically trained person as it really is odd.

Spolied by constant mispronunciation

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Terrible mispronunciation of many of the medical terms making it hard to follow, but very informative nonetheless

Excellent book on health & heart disease causes risks and management for the general public
