Remember Thou Art Mortal: The Chronicles of a Mending Heart

Every event in life - good or not - changes the course of our lives in some way. For Atul Uchil it was as big an event in life as one could experience without ending life itself: a heart attack.

Some 600,000 Americans experience a heart attack each year, but not everyone who survives uses the experience to change their lives and the lives of others. Dr. Uchil tackles the struggles to fight back from a heart attack with Remember Thou Art Mortal: The Chronicles of a Mending Heart.

Dr. Uchil tells a very personal account of a post-heart-attack life in a surprisingly warm and candid book that also happens to be preciously informative. Far from a dry, medical tome, Remember Thou Art Mortal intersperses Dr. Uchil's narrative with useful breakdowns of medical terminology, his first-person description of heart attack symptoms, and advice on dietary changes that could help prevent heart attack and much more.
