Human Heart, Cosmic Heart
A Doctor’s Quest to Understand, Treat, and Prevent Cardiovascular Disease
Summary:
The book challenges conventional wisdom on heart disease, proposing that the heart functions not primarily as a pump but as an organ managing the flow of blood, influenced by the structure of the blood vessels, diet, and emotions. It combines personal narrative, case studies, and medical theory to explore alternative treatments and prevention strategies for heart disease, emphasizing a holistic approach to heart health.
Key points:
1. Heart as a Hydraulic Ram: Dr. Cowan disputes the idea of the heart as a pump, suggesting blood propels itself and the heart acts more like a hydraulic ram.
