In this book Dr. Barnard, in understandable and sympathetic language, tells us all about the heart, and describes the cause of heart attacks (a degenerative disease of the arteries), and what may be behind that disease and hence may constitute a "risk factor" (high cholesterol level, smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, hereditary factors, and so on). The book emphasizes throughout the care and saving of hearts "too good to die," and includes a firsthand account of Dr. Barnard's historic original heart transplant operation, which he performed in 1967.
