People with heart disease need to understand the key issues surrounding the treatment of the disease and how different hospitals cope with these issues. "The Doctor Foster Heart Disease Guide" takes patients through the way the illness is treated and explains which hospitals have the best outcomes for heart surgery or treatment of heart disease, as well as giving details of which hospitals meet best practice standards treatments and discussing options of travelling abroad for treatment.
