Welcome to the twelfth year of BETTER <strong>Health</strong>, the magazine for patients and<br />
friends of Bumrungrad International Hospital. In this issue, you will<br />
find a variety of new features presented in a new, more relaxed design<br />
that is easier to read. A new feature is the Bumrungrad patient stories – which is<br />
meant to inspire many – and articles on nutrition, exercise, and new technologies<br />
to help you live a healthy life.<br />
In this issue we focus on heart health and the treatment options for patients<br />
with aortic valve stenosis, followed by the new studies on heart and bone diseases<br />
in our <strong>Health</strong> Briefs column. And if you want to know whether aging patients can<br />
have bypass surgery, the Q & A column has the answer.<br />
As always, if you have any suggestions or comments about our magazine, we<br />
encourage you to e-mail us at betterhealth@bumrungrad.com. We look forward to<br />
hearing from you and wish you health and happiness.<br />
