Cardiologist Дмитрий Намик shows how diet, physical activity, and a competent understanding of the results of medical tests can help you preserve the health of your “inner engine” for the long term. Real patient stories, clear diagrams, and practical recommendations will help you learn to take care of yourself consciously.

When the heart starts to get tired, not only the body suffers, but also the quality of life: work capacity decreases, sleep worsens, anxiety appears…”
