Climbing Mountains - The Journey to Beat the World's Biggest Killer

“Dr Salim Yusuf achieved remarkable success as a physician, scientist, clinical trialist and world health advocate.  His career journey is indeed inspirational and should serve as a roadmap for any young medical researcher with talent, ambition, a vision and drive.” David L. DeMets, PhD, Max Halperin Emeritus Professor of Biostatistics' University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA 

“One of the premier scientists of our times.” Dr Marc Pfeffer, Dzau Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School

This is the first biography of one of the world’s leading clinical researchers, Dr. Salim Yusuf. This book relates the powerful story of how ordinary doctors from across the globe, fuelled by friendship and altruism, transformed the field of clinical research and discovered new treatments for heart disease and stroke which save millions of lives every year. Climbing Mountains is supported in part, and endorsed to the readers, by the World Heart Federation, Geneva Switzerland, and the Population Health Research Institute, Hamilton, Canada. Royalties will be donated to the World Heart Federation to be used for its Emerging Leaders Program.
