"WEAVING MEDICAL NARRATIVE AND CUTTING-EDGE SCIENCE, DR. MIMI GUARNERI EXPLORES THE FRONTIERS BEYOND THE PHYSICAL HEART. Every day, 2,600 Americans die of cardiovascular disease -- one person every thirty-three seconds. Ten times more women die of heart disease than breast cancer. Despite remarkable interventional and surgical procedures, over 650,000 new heart attacks occur annually. With groundbreaking new research, Dr. Guarneri skillfully blends the science and drama of the heart's unfolding. She reveals the heart as a multilayered, complex organ and explores the new science that indicates the heart acts as a powerhouse of its own, possessing intelligence, memory, and decision-making abilities that are separate from the mind. |

A book that helped me understand what my heart was saying 
I just had two stents inserted in my left circumflex artery. Before I went in for surgery I was told to read this book. It was so enlightening. It helped me understand what my heart has been telling me. My heart had been talking to me for a while, but I had not understood the message. I do now.
A must read for anyone with family heart disease.

The Heart does speak volumes... 
Dr. Guarneri, MD has written a very fine book. While there isn't a great deal of new material within the book, there is still enough new and insightful information to rank this book as a first choice read.
Guarneri covers three aspects of the heart, the physical, the "language" and items going beyond the physical heart. The language of the heart outlines the non-physical factors that do affect heart health. To me, this isn't new information however the fact that an esteemed doctor as deemed these factors as extremely problematic for one's heart health certainly lends much creedence to the factors.
I must advise any readers that it is not my style to give a book report review but to simply advise if the book is worth the read or not and to give some simple information. With this in mind, I would recommend this title to anyone and everyone. She is a good author using examples that are tangible, she writes in an extremely readable fashion and she keeps the book interesting. She also gives new information that will change your outlook on your heart and encourage you to maintain its health through your healthy habits and surroundings.
Buy it, borrow it, read it. It's worth it.

Great book
I enjoyed this book very much. The text flows and you can feel the compassion and intellegence of the author. I happen to be an ex-employee and a patient at SCRIPPS in La Jolla. Dr Mimi is well respected in the local, as well as the medical community for her wonderful work in unlocking the secrets of heart disease (both physical and emotional). I have recently dealt with the deaths of both a younger brother (34/cancer) and sister (32/murder)and always wondered what physical changes cause a person to feel 'broken hearted'. I am also finding my way thro a new diagnosis of heart disease myself. I recommend this book for anyone who is a cardiac patient or who loves someone with heart disease. I bought several copies and gave them out as gifts

Excellant Book.
A friend borrowed me her book. It was an excellant book. It demonstrated through the stories, that the heart is a unique organ. I found myself at times crying because of people's successful stories and well as laugh at others. I love the idea of having doctors listen to their patients. I intend to send copies to my doctors for Christmas and give them a reading assignment. After all, it isn't only the patient who must learn, doctor should also learn through their patients.

Great info in a quick read
A winning combination of this cardiologist's memoir together with great information about heart disease and all that influences it. Compelling stories from her own practice and examples of each facet discussed.
