Open Heart Surgery and Its Consequences for Well-Being $72.41 Both historically and today, the aim of open heart surgery is the prolongation of life as well as the relief of symptoms. However, increased ability to prolong life has given rise to a variety of questions about quality of life including not only physical but also psychological and social dimensions.

There are few descriptions about the consequences of open heart surgery that view the patient and his/her relatives as a unit and thus an indivisible part of each others lifeworld. Therefore, this book provides a different kind of knowledge about the exposed situation of patients and relatives in connection with open heart surgery. Depressed mood over time among the studied patients is described as well as patient fragility, relativesintegrated endurance and the interplay between these reactions. Furthermore, health care professionalslimited ability to recognise sigs of reduced well-being in the families concerned is highlighted.

Unnecessary Heart Surgery $15.48 As shown in the Preface, numerous surveys have concluded that most heart bypass surgery is unnecessary. Supported by hospital records, this is one patientas story of how it happened to him.The book includes a detailed record of the experience from the day he fell on his chest in a touch-football game to the day he was given a fraudulent consent form to sign, to the day the surgeon wrote an entry in which he claimed the surgery was done because the patient wanted it. It goes on to reveal what a house of mirrors consent regulations and law are in one state. Recommendations by the American Hospital Association are the only rules that protect a patient from unnecessary or unwanted surgery and other treatment, but they are not legally enforceable. It reveals that the Patient Bill of Rights is mostly fluff, and the prime example is the point that gives a patient the right to know his doctoras name, but nothing about his education, license, resume or medical record. |

Beating Heart Coronary Artery Surgery $3.48 Originally introduced several decades ago, myocardial revascularization on the beating heart was largely abandoned as new techniques for extracorporeal circulation were developed. While the popularity of coronary surgery on the arrested heart remained undisputed for decades, a belief in the benefits of avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass and electromechanical arrest had sustained interest in techniques for surgery on the beating heart. Combined with the refinement of techniques of coronary exposure and myocardial stabilization, coronary surgery on the beating heart had slowly regained popularity in the 1990s. The result of an important collaboration from several international authorities in the field, Beating Heart Coronary Artery Surgery summarizes the most important and innovative developments in surgical myocardial revascularization that have evolved in recent years. The book is divided into three parts: technical aspects (how to); surgical approaches; and outcomes in off-pump coronary surgery. The reader will be exposed to a comprehensive review of the principles of coronary exposure, preferred surgical approaches, coronary stabilization, management of hemodynamics, graft patency verification in off-pump coronary surgery, and patient outcomes. |

King of Hearts: The True Story of the Maverick Who Pioneered Open Heart Surgery $19.45 Few of the great stories of medicine are as palpably dramatic as the invention of open-heart surgery, yet, until now, no journalist has ever brought all of the thrilling specifics of this triumph to life. This is the story of the surgeon many call the father of open-heart surgery, Dr. C. Walton Lillehei, who, along with colleagues at University Hospital in Minneapolis and a small band of pioneers elsewhere, accomplished what many experts considered to be an impossible feat: He opened the heart, repaired fatal defects, and made the miraculous routine. Acclaimed author G. Wayne Miller draws on archival research and exclusive interviews with Lillehei and legendary pioneers such as Michael DeBakey and Christiaan Barnard, taking readers into the lives of these doctors and their patients as they progress toward their landmark achievement. In the tradition of works by Richard Rhodes and Tracy Kidder, King of Hearts tells the story of an important and gripping piece of forgotten science history. "From the Hardcover edition." |

Dying to Live: The Journey into a Man’s Open Heart $17.14 Actor and filmmaker Ben Mittleman was about to turn fifty when his doctor gave him a disturbing diagnosis — he was suffering from a cardiac condition that required open-heart surgery. The news opened the floodgates for Mittleman’s fears and insecurities as he moved deeper into middle age, and he decided to keep a video diary to document his thoughts and feelings as the date with the surgeon approached. Before long, Mittleman had more than just his own health to worry about, as both his wife and his mother learned they were living with cancer, and Mittleman found he no longer had time for the luxury of introspective self-pity. Mittleman edited his diary footage and video he shot of his wife and mother’s experiences in treatment into the documentary Dying To Live, a personal exploration of mortality and how the demands of maturity can make themselves known at nearly any age. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |
