New Book SECOND CHANCE AT 75 Humanizes the Topic of Cardiovascular Disease

Physician looks to minimize the socioeconomic impact of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in new book from Palmetto Publishing

Charleston, SC, Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In the United States, cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease (stroke) are the leading causes of morbidity, mortality, and disability. And after his own encounter with heart disease at the age of 75, semi-retired anesthesiologist Dr. Hasnain wants to bridge the gap in public health education. With the economic burden of cardiovascular disease and stroke totaling over $400 billion and climbing, Dr. Hasnain believes it’s high time to ease the socioeconomic impact. Seeking to spread awareness, Hasnain delivers a public service announcement on cardiovascular health in a new book.

In “Second Chance at 75,” Dr. Hasnain describes both his personal and professional experience with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, conditions he considers to be societal scourges. Unlike many books on chronic disease, Dr. Hasnain humanizes the topic of heart disease and stroke, and his own journey is a unique testament of survival. Stressing the importance of prevention and timely and effective treatment, Hasnain unpacks these diseases, offering an overview of treatment options and sharing strategies for maintaining heart health. Dr. Hasnain’s insightful narrative offers readers a unique resource for better understanding the risks of poor cardiovascular and cerebrovascular fitness. “I hope this educational approach with benefit medical professionals, patients, and the general public,” Dr. Hasnain says.

“Second Chance at 75” is available for purchase on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
