Ebook-Leseprobe (EPUB)

A world-renowned cardiac surgeon and researcher reveals proven treatments for heart diseases are not being used by the medical community.Solving the Mysteries of Heart Disease describes the passionate lifelong journey of Dr. Gerald Buckberg, whose early discoveries have already helped save the lives of 25,000,000 heart disease patients. Yet Buckberg and his teams have pioneered additional advances that may save millions more advances that are being ignored by the medical establishment.These include breakthroughs that reverse congestive heart failure, treat sudden death/cardiac arrest with 80% survival (compared to the current rate of 15%), avoid heart muscle damage after an acute heart attack (that can lead to heart failure), and significantly improve effectiveness of pacemakers. Few families are untouched by one of these or the other conditions described in this book.A Distinguished Professor of Surgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Dr. Buckberg's initial landmark research dramatically transformed high-risk open heart operations into the routine procedures they are today. Over 85% of cardiac surgeons in the United States use his techniques. So why haven't his team's subsequent groundbreaking discoveries yet been adopted as standard practice? The personal story of a relentless quest to solve problems long thought insurmountable, Solving the Mysteries of Heart Disease tells of triumphs over formidable odds and initial failures. It provides a deep understanding of how the heart works and what happens when things go wrong. At the same time, Buckberg exposes why the medical field has been too slow to adopt treatments proven effective in patients in the U.S. and internationally remedies that could create a revolution in healthcare.
