It is estimated that some 60 million Americans suffer from high blood pressure. Tennis great and heart attack victim Arthur Ashe is the host for this professionally produced and informative video adaptation of the book Three Medical Experts Tell You What You Want to Know About High Blood Pressure by Neil B. Shulman, Elijah Sanders, and W. Dallas Hall. Beginning with the simple question: what is high blood pressure?, the video discusses the contributing factors, how to measure blood pressure, what's involved in a physical exam, drugs that are used in the treatment of the disease, and ways that viewers might change both their lifestyles and their nutritional habits in order to decrease the risk of high blood pressure. Excellent computer graphics describing the way the heart works add to the considerable educational value of this excellent program. Highly recommended. (Available from most distributors.)
