Preventing Illness Among People With Coronary Heart Disease brings together researchers from a variety of disciplines who address subjects relevant to secondary and tertiary preventive care for patients with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD).

This authoritative book stimulates readers to do further research about the interplay of mental health, physical health, and behavioral intervention for CHD patients.
