Due medici e uno chef, più un cuore da nutrire. Con i cibi giusti, con le ricette capaci di onorare il gusto e proteggere la salute. Tutto in un manuale da tenere sulla tavola o in libreria. Perché i due autori, la cardioioga Leda Galiuto e il nutrizionista Giacinto Miggiano, sono riusciti a farne un testo che si può leggere secondo le esigenze, secondo le curiosità, secondo come si sta e quanto (e come) si mangia. Una guida per un cuore, per mille cuori. Troviamo la dieta ipocalorica, ma anche i suggerimenti per i migliori metodi di cottura, i danni da fumo come quelli da overdose di dolci, gli effetti dell'allenamento sul muscolo cardiaco e la difficile convivenza con il colesterolo. Heinz Beck, chef pluristellato, firma proposte che riescono a regalare un'inaspettata soddisfazione. Nel preparare il piatto, nel condividerlo e nel pensare che l'organismo dice "grazie". Un esempio di divulgazione scientifica che alterna il frutto della ricerca al consiglio culinario, la raccomandazione sulla terapia da seguire alla scelta del pesce, i corretti valori della pressione alla ricetta dei maccheroncini integrali con gamberi rossi e purea di melanzana, l'allarme per il picco glicemico ai dubbi sulle verdure "ripassate in padella".

L'obiettivo di questo Atlante è quello di descrivere le modalità di esecuzione e di interpretazione delle principali manovre di stimolazione che possono rendere più sicura la diagnosi di un'aritmia e di conseguenza il suo trattamento. Infatti l'avvento dei sistemi di mappaggio elettroanatomico ha portato ad una grande rivoluzione nell'ambito del trattamento ablativo delle aritmie complesse, ma, in alcuni casi, queste tecnologie non sono in grado di risolvere tutti i quesiti. In questi casi solamente l'ausilio di un approccio classico può condurre alla diagnosi e all'interruzione dell'aritmia, riducendo così al minimo i rischi per il paziente.

La malattia cardiaca è la prima causa di morte a livello mondiale indistintamente tra uomini e donne, tuttavia non induce paura come il cancro. Probabilmente perché le persone sono spaventate più dai trattamenti chemioterapici che non dalla malattia stessa. In ogni caso circa il 60% dei decessi dovuti a malattie cardiache si verifica in persone che non hanno avuto alcun sintomo precedente e con livelli di colesterolo nella norma. Il libro dimostra che molto di quello che abbiamo imparato in realtà non corrisponde a verità.
