Patients facing the prospect of heart surgery know little about that important organ. This book offers a simple description of the structure and function of the normal heart, the things that can go wrong, how they are investigated and how they may be corrected. The aim of the book is to avoid technical jargon and to enable the patient, the family and the medical team to come together on common ground.
