'Jauhar weaves his own personal and family story into his history
of the heart...very effectively... This gives a certain dramatic
tension to the book, as it tells the fascinating and rather
wonderful history of cardiology.' -Henry Marsh, New Statesman A
Mail on Sunday Book of the Year The heart lies at the centre of
life. For cardiologist Sandeep Jauhar it is an obsession. In this
fascinating history he interweaves gripping scenes from the
operating theatre with the moving tale of his family's history of
heart problems - from the death of his grandfather to the ominous
signs of how he himself might die. Jauhar looks at the pioneers who
risked patients' lives and their own careers, and confronts the
limits of medical technology, arguing that how we live is more
important than any device or drug we may invent. Heart is the
all-encompassing story of the engine of life.
