"While heart disease has been around for a long time, the type of heart disease people have, why they have it, and how it's treated is changing. Yet the golden age of heart science is only just beginning. And with treatments of heart disease altering the very definitions of human life and death, there is no better time to look at the present and future of heart disease, the doctors and nurses who treat it, the patients and caregivers who live with it, and the stories they hold close to their chests."--Jacket flap.
