3. CnAHA Members in the News Dr. Jian-Ming Li, MD, PhD, has published a book Ai Xin Qi Shi Lu in China. In this unique book, he incorporated his role as a scientist, cardiologist, and patient to provide heart to heart advice to the general public on how to prevent heart disease in the first place. The Preface was by Dr. Dayi Hu. He is on a book tour in Beijing, Shanghai and Nanjing, etc . If you are interested in more information about the book, please contact Dr. Li at Jian-Ming.Li@med.va.gov.
