Heart
The sensation of throbbing or soreness in the upper body can be misdiagnosed by physicians as well as patients. Internal organs generate a diffused pain that is difficult to localize. When a perceived case of indigestion turns out to be a heart attack, the importance of addressing each painful sensation becomes apparent. Doctors have access to journals and articles explaining the origins and conditions symptomatic of chest pain; however, it is hard for those not in the medical community to decipher this medical jargon. After much encouragement from his own patients, Albert J. Miller saw the need for a layman’s volume. Anyone who has a family history of heart disease, an existing heart condition, or is aging will benefit from this quick reference.
