Herzensdinge

Heart specialist Umes Arunagirinathan dedicates this book to our most important organ. In a didactically excellent, accessible, and personal manner, he presents his expertise and shows what we can do to keep our hearts in rhythm for a lifetime. 3 billion beats, 200 million liters of blood – this is the tally of a heart that has been beating for 75 years. It has been active since the fourth embryonic week, throughout a person's life. These few figures alone illustrate the dimensions we are dealing with when we talk about the heart. Yet, despite the incredible capabilities of this super organ, most people know relatively little about it. They take it for granted that their pump functions properly. Bestselling author and heart specialist Umes Arunagirinathan shares the astonishing achievements of our most vital organ – and how we can heal and protect it. The book includes a special chapter on the female heart and a comprehensive service section.
