The Buena Salud Guide for a Heathy Heart - image 3

This book is designed to provide accurate and authoritative information in regard to the subject matter covered. It is not intended as a substitute for medical advice from a qualified physician. The reader should consult his or her medical, health, or other competent professional before adopting any of the suggestions in this book or drawing inferences from it.

The author and the publisher specifically disclaim all responsibility for any liability, loss, or risk, personal or otherwise, that is incurred as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the use and application of any of the contents of this book.

The mission of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health (the Alliance) is to improve the health of Hispanic communities and work with others to secure health for all. This has been a major challenge because although 1 out of every 6 people in the United States is Hispanic, too often the research, analysis, and recommendations do not address Hispanic lives. As information emerges about Hispanic health, it is clear that to achieve the best health outcomes for all, we need a different approach to health care in our communities. Besides providing the best health information, we need to create a new way to think about health that blends the strengths of the Hispanic community with the latest medical and technological advances.

The Buena Salud series is designed to make that happen. Each book identifies the key factors that define a health concern, the changes that each of us needs to consider making for ourselves and our family, the most up-to-date information to live healthier lives, and the tools that we need to make that possible.

The challenge is to sort through the daily onslaught of health-related information and recognize that many of the changes we need to make to improve our health we cannot do alone. Our sense of family and responsibility to our family is one of the great strengths in our community, and it is key to improving the health system. Nevertheless, to do so we all need to work together. Whether it is an uncle, a brother, a sister, or a comadre, we have to help each other become as healthy as possible. This series is for you because there is so much that you can do to improve your own health and the health of others.

We are at a critical moment when we can make all of our lives better. The promise of science is before us, and we must use every bit of information to care for our body, mind, and spirit. Through the Buena Salud series, we want to be your partner in making it happen.

Those of you who do not personally have the pleasure of knowing Dr. Jane Delgado, chief executive of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, have not yet fully lived. She is one of the few Washington, D.C., association leaders with compassion, common sense, and an uncanny ability to bring people and diverse groups together to solve problems. She is also an accomplished author and educator. In writing this new and timely book, The Buena Salud Guide for a Healthy Heart, Dr. Delgado opens windows to her unique and refreshingly clear views on cardiovascular health and health care, and shows why you should pay attention to what she has learned in these regards.

Her 10-Point Program for Health combines both common sense and what you might have been once taught by your grandmother. Most of us have apparently forgotten to apply much of this sound advice in our own lives.

Dr. Delgado applies to your potential well-being what the best clinical science tells us about cardiovascular disease and health. She highlights what we know about current medical treatment options and prevention advice and strategies, along with offering some important resources to help us take control of our own health and/or to help our loved ones to do so.

The author also demystifies, in laypeoples terms, many of the complicated cardiovascular diagnoses and the technologies and tests used to discover and treat heart disease. Medical terminology and technology can confuse or overwhelm people without a medical background who have or are at risk of heart disease. Dr. Delgado makes all of this easier to understand and consider.

Everybody needs this kind of information. But, as many of us as physicians have learned, the CHO (chief health officer) of the family is statistically most often a womana wife, a mother, or a sister. Women are far more likely than the less aware gender to take charge of helping members of the immediate and extended familia to exercise personal responsibility for their health, whether its exercising, eating well, getting enough sleep, or cherishing their spiritual life.

Dr. Delgado understands the importance of family and community in promoting healthier behaviors, and she presents ways to do so that are practical and realistic for families of all kinds. CHOs of families everywhere, whether Hispanic or not, will find this informationand Dr. Delgados easily understandable way of communicating itinvaluable in helping to manage both their own cardiovascular health and that of those they love.

This good advice is also particularly pertinent for men and women. There are major differences between the sexes, as well as differences between members of various ethnic and cultural groups, when it comes to cardiovascular disease and risk, symptomatology, and best-care strategies. Heart disease is the number-one cause of morbidity (illness) and mortality worldwide, even in China, India, and South and Central America. And since the mid-1980s, more women than men have died of cardiovascular disease, a fact that too many patients and doctors seem not to recognize.

Dr. Delgado understands! She recognizes the need to approach health care according to individual, ethnic, cultural, and religious differences and preferences if we want to be effective. Personalizing care requires knowing as much as possible about what the scientific facts and clinical options are. Thats why you need to read this book and share it with your family and friends. We all need to better understand how to take greater responsibility for our own personal and family health. We need to be able to identify cardiovascular risks early and avoid larger problems in the future.

I enthusiastically recommend The Buena Salud Guide for a Healthy Heart. Read it. Recommend it. Most important, use it to make a real difference in improving your own heart health and to contribute to a needed revolution in prevention, improved chronic disease management, and personal health responsibility.

It has taken me seventeen years since my mother died from heart disease to be able to write extensively about this topic. All my research has documented that the amount of progress that has been made in this short time is not only amazing, but it could have saved my mothers life. Today both men and women are more likely to survive bypass surgery than they were in the past. Moreover, fewer of us need bypass surgery, as the variety of medications and minimally invasive procedures that are available to resolve and control heart and related problems make bypass surgery less necessary.
