DESCRIPTION: This video was finished late in 1999 and it completely updates our classic title "Coronary Heart Disease" (which won 12 awards). This new tape features stunning 3D computer animation that takes the viewer on a virtual journey around the heart. It is easy to watch and comprehend but is compelling and very persuasive. It can be viewed in one sitting, or the individual segments shown separately. This makes it ideal for training in a variety of settings. It should be useful from high school, through nurse training to patients who seek a greater understanding of their condition. The tape should be especially useful in coronary care units and for training in cardiac rehabilitation facilities. In the school, workplace, home or hospital, this tape is a potent tool to help prevent this major killer.

1. BIOLOGY - an introduction to the workings of the heart and the biology of the disease process. Stunning 3D computer animation takes the viewer on a virtual journey around the heart to explain its workings and the pathogenesis of atheroma. Graphics also explain angina and heart attacks.

2. PREVENTION - describes risk factors and what can be done about those risks. Contains an overview of the epidemiology of coronary heart disease and advice concerning exercise, smoking and diet.

3. INVESTIGATIONS & TREATMENT - explains investigations, treatments and rehabilitation; it emphasises that modern techniques have a great deal to offer those patients with established disease.
