"Continuous blood flow is antithetical to the way that humans, pulsatile beings, evolved. Though continuous flow can keep us alive, it alters ours physiology in idiosyncratic and unpredictable ways."-Sandeep Jauhar, Heart: A History
"In many ways, the heart does resemble a house. It is divided into multiple chambers, separated by doors. The walls have a characteristic texture. The house is old, designed over many millennia. Hidden from view are the wires and pipes that keep it functioning. And though the house has no intrinsic meaning, it carries meaning because of the meanings we attribute to it."-Sandeep Jauhar, Heart: A History
"Traditional" Japanese immigrants had coronary disease rates in line with their homeland counterparts. "Westernised" immigrants had a prevalence that was at least 3 times higher. "Retention of Japanese group relationships is associated with a lower rate of coronary heart disease", the authors concluded. And so, acculturation, they declared, is a major risk factor for coronary disease in immigrant populations."-Sandeep Jauhar, Heart: A History
