The Quest to Know the Human Heart is the history of the discovery of the scientists who disrupted the "status quo," often with great pushback from peers, to bring to us new discoveries, knowledge, diagnostic procedures, treatment procedures, and medications in the field of cardiology and cardiac surgery, allowing people of today to live longer and healthier lives. How we got to where we are today is an interesting story of individual human determination and human-placed road blocks, which were overcome by those determined to make progress in the field of heart disease. More people die of heart disease than any other disease. Knowing how we got to where we are today and what the major breakthroughs have been will help those with heart disease to better understand why their physicians have chosen certain diagnostic tests and treatment.
