Sian E. Harding, a recognized authority in cardiac science, is Emeritus Professor of Cardiac Pharmacology in the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London, where she led the Division of Cardiovascular Sciences and the BHF Centre for Cardiac Regeneration.
"The idea of the heart as a red cartoon bubble holding our emotions
is one we generally let go of in childhood. We learn that the heart
is just a bloody machine. The mind is where we feel things. But
there's truth in that elementary-school version of the heart, too,
says Sian Harding, an emeritus professor of cardiac pharmacology at
the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London.
In her new book, The Exquisite Machine: The New Science of the
Heart, the heart researcher argues that this organ is deeply linked
to our emotions. That connection can kill you. It can also help
keep you alive...Harding wrote her book because she wants people to
know that our blood-pumping organ and its impressive tricks deserve
all our cartoon-heart emoji."
