Klappentext zu „Jones, D: Broken Hearts “
Still the leading cause of death worldwide, heart disease challenges researchers, clinicians, and patients alike. Each day, thousands of patients and their doctors make decisions about coronary angioplasty and bypass surgery. In Broken Hearts David S. Jones sheds light on the nature and quality of those decisions. He describes the debates over what causes heart attacks and the efforts to understand such unforeseen complications of cardiac surgery as depression, mental fog, and stroke.Why do doctors and patients overestimate the effectiveness and underestimate the dangers of medical interventions, especially when doing so may lead to the overuse of medical therapies? To answer this question, Jones explores the history of cardiology and cardiac surgery in the United States and probes the ambiguities and inconsistencies in medical decision making. Based on extensive reviews of medical literature and archives, this historical perspective on medical decision making and risk highlights personal, professional, and community outcomes.

Rezension zu „Jones, D: Broken Hearts “
Offers a historical perspective on medical decision making in the case of heart disease. The Chronicle Review 2013 For anyone who has had a heart attack or whose family member has had one, this book is definitely worth reading. -- Stephen Goddard History Wire - Where the Past Comes Alive 2013 Any health collection strong in cardiac care will find this a winning presentation perfect for general health or specialty collections alike. Midwest Book Review 2013 The light Jones shines on the interventional cardiovascular enterprise illuminates numerous, sometimes fatal and always costly flaws that every patient and society at large ignores at great peril. -- Nortin M. Hadler Scientists' Bookshelf 2013 A surprising and sobering book. David Jones combines rigorous research with a clear narrative style to produce a very persuasive historical analysis. I heartily recommend that physicians read Broken Hearts to benefit from a dose of detective work,a dose of insight, and a good dose of humility. -- Jack Coulehan, MD Pharos 2013
