Heart: An American Medical Odyssey Hardcover - 2013 - 1st Edition
by Dick Cheney; Jonathan Reiner
Summary
Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his longtime cardiologist, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, share the story of CheneyâÈçs thirty-five-year battle with heart diseaseâÈ'providing insight into the incredible medical breakthroughs that have changed cardiac care over the last four decades.
For almost as long as he served at the highest levels of government and business, Dick Cheney has been one of the most well known cardiac patients in the world. When he suffered his first heart attack in 1978, Cheney received essentially the same treatment as President Eisenhower did after his heart attack in 1955. Since then, coronary care has undergone revolutionary changes. The story of these changes is told through the chronicle of CheneyâÈçs own heart disease and the treatments he received.
In Heart, for the first time ever, Dick Cheney shares the very personal story of his health struggles. Heart traces the history of cardiology over the past forty years through the alternating narratives of Cheney and his longtime cardiologist Dr. Jonathan Reiner. In their voices, readers will learn about CheneyâÈçs personal experiences, get a glimpse into the all-important doctor-patient relationship, and learn about the cutting-edge science that has radically changed the way we think about and treat the disease. By revealing the intimate details behind his five heart attacks and most recently, his heart transplant, Cheney offers hope to the millions struggling with cardiovascular disease around the world.
