Introduction
Health information that relates to heart diseases can be easily accessed through the internet websites, articles, and books, among other materials.

Proper management of information in the websites, articles and books can increase the public awareness of heart diseases (Brown, 2004). This can be done by introducing the epidemiological data, which includes the morbidity, mortality, disability relative to heart diseases on the first page of the book or website.

This can facilitate quickening of the spirit of members of the community, and thus calling for preventive measures. Although some amount of information should be put across concerning the treatment of heart diseases, it would be rational if the website, books and articles takes an approach of
