Listened to this one on audio and really enjoyed it. Part memoir and part medical history, it was a fascinating look into the relatively recent understanding of how the human heart works and what treatments we are able to do. For example, CPR wasn‘t around until the late 1950s even though physicians began attempting open heart surgery in the late 1800s. Lots of interesting facts about cardiology - would definitely recommend. #audiobook #cardiology

This was a great read for #scienceseptember from personal history with heart disease and training as a heart specialist to the history of how our understanding of the heart has developed, and with it treatments for various ailments - meditation often does as much as medication, and the connection between anxiety/stress and the heart. I recently had AED training when I was CPR certified but had no idea that technology was so new. ⤵️

The #everykindapeople version I know is by S Club 7, who signed my video when I had my heart transplant, hence my choice of book. #ayupaugust @squirrelbrain @Cinfhen

I know this is the wrong organ for #everybreathyoutake, but because of my ♥️ transplant I have good reasons for choosing these books about the ♥️. #AnglophileApril @Cinfhen @emilyhaldi @Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola

1. The first thing we noticed after my transplant is that I had more 'puff' to blow bubbles, which we used as a distraction technique as I still had my fear of needles & blood tests then.

2. I had what's known as a 'domino' transplant ⬇️

Once again, judging a book by its cover really worked for me 😍📖⛲️

Cardiologist Sandeep Jaguar takes us to the heart of the matter in this history, part memoir. I think it sounds fascinating! ❣

A well written blend of personal and medical history. It‘s hard to read this book without occasionally putting your hand on your chest and wondering at the relentless, seemingly unstoppable, beat.

My husband looking at the library book haul and says to himself, "huh, I wonder if my wife's in cardiology?"
He's got jokes....

I liked this book. Part memoir, but mostly medical history. It‘s a very quick read! #heart #cardiology 💗
