- More about The Exquisite Machine: The New Science of the Heart
Science is unlocking the mysteries of the heart, revealing the poetry in motion within the machine. New scientific developments such as ultrafast imaging, gene editing, stem cells, artificial intelligence, and advanced sub-light microscopy are crucial for health and well-being, and have real-world consequences for heart disease. The Exquisite Machine explores the relation between the emotions and heart function, the astonishing rejuvenating power of stem cells, how we can avoid heart disease, and why it can be so hard to repair a damaged heart. It tells the stories of patients who have had devastating experiences and describes how cutting-edge technologies are enabling experiments and clinical trials that will lead to new solutions to the worldwide scourge of heart disease.

Science is unlocking the secrets of the heart, revealing the poetry in motion within the machine. Your heart is a marvel of construction, beating 100,000 times every day, and it has not yet been replicated by any human-made creation. Despite decades of effort in labs all over the world, we have not yet been able to replicate the hearts perfect engineering. However, new scientific developments are opening up the mysteries of the heart. These developments include ultrafast imaging, gene editing, stem cells, artificial intelligence, and advanced sub-light microscopy. Sian Harding, a world leader in cardiac research, explores the relation between the emotions and heart function, reporting that the heart not only responds to our emotions, but it creates them as well. The Exquisite Machine describes the evolutionary forces that have shaped the hearts response to damage, the astonishing rejuvenating power of stem cells, how we can avoid heart disease, and why it can be so hard to repair a damaged heart. It tells the stories of patients who have had the devastating experiences of a heart attack, chaotic heart rhythms, or stress-induced acute heart failure. And it describes how cutting-edge technologies are enabling experiments and clinical trials that will lead us to new solutions to the worldwide scourge of heart disease.
