- Summary:
-
The heart - we all have one, pumping away reliably in our chest, never stopping till the day we die. But few of us think much about this heroic organ until it starts to go wrong. In this lively and informative exploration of all aspects of the heart, Johannes Hinrich von Borstel offers a perfect mix of medical fact and amusing anecdote. A prospective cardiologist and former paramedic - as well as one of Germany's most successful science-slammers - von Borstel relates his own experiences to provide a personal insight into the human side of heart medicine, while clearly explaining the science behind cardiac disease and healthcare for the heart. His many tips on how to give your ticker the best chance of enduring for as long as possible include one that will certainly be close to many people's hearts: have more sex! Oh, and eat more vegetables ... From the publishers who brought you Gut (in the UK and Germany), this is a superb mix of personal insight, up-to-date medical and scientific information, and helpful, entertaining advice. The author is a proven media performer, and will attract significant media interest. Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the Western world, and, with the rapidly increasing consumer interest in personal health, there is a large market for a reliable book on this subject.
