It is a fascinating history that starts with the 17th century pioneering work of Harvey, a skilled physician who unravelled the mysteries of human physiology to reveal the heart's pumping action, vital role in circulation and the mechanics of the pulse. The author describes experimental breakthroughs in the 19th century, when animal experiments led to the discovery of anaesthetics and antiseptics and looks at how these discoveries transformed surgical techniques. It concludes with a celebration of the 20th century's technological advancements that allowed for non-invasive methods of heart disease diagnosis and cardiac surgery. This book offers a comprehensive account of our understanding of the heart over the centuries and provides an accessible introduction to the history of cardiology that will appeal to the general reader.
