One of my greatest challenges is keeping abreast of the latest technology & research and the monthly newsletter is a great help. Keep up the good work. KCT, Elmhurst, IL

There is a good mix of articles. I read this for my husband who has had a stroke, has apnea and a-fib. It helps me know what to ask the doctor. RP, Warrington, PA

I am a Cardiac Rehab nurse and believe the Harvard Heart Letter helps me easily stay current regarding heart disease news and research. I use the information frequently with my patients and recommend the publication to them. I always enjoy receiving each new issue. Keep up the great work! LWR, Clemson, SC

My health is very important to my family and myself. I love receiving your newsletters because it helps us keep informed about what we can do to live a long and healthy life. Every article is important to us, and we just want to thank you for the extensive work you do to improve our lives. Thank You. JSD, (13 years old) Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Excellent, on the very short list of publications I consider authoritative. D.A. New York City

When first diagnosed with coronary artery disease my first reaction was a mixture of anxiety and confusion. Suddenly what seemed normal became complicated. My heart and health, which rarely crossed my mind in the past, now required my complete attention. Worse, I realized I didn’t know enough to make good decisions about my condition. So I decided to subscribe to the Harvard Heart Letter. Harvard Medical School, it seemed to me, was a very famous and very trustworthy place for information. I was also confused because it seemed like dozens of stories and reports I found on the Internet contradicted each other. It’s difficult to know what to believe or what action to take. The Harvard Heart Letter provides the information I need to stay informed about heart health and more importantly puts it into perspective – all in language that I can understand. With valuable information from the Harvard Heart Letter, I now have the peace of mind that I am an informed partner in my own treatment. What were once anxious visits to my cardiologist are now more active and effective discussions of treatment options, medications, and outcomes. J. Malloy, CT
