Midwest Book Review)
The light Jones shines on the interventional cardiovascular enterprise illuminates numerous, sometimes fatal and always costly flaws that every patient and society at large ignores at great peril.
(Nortin M. Hadler
Scientists' Bookshelf)
A surprising and sobering book. David Jones combines rigorous research with a clear narrative style to produce a very persuasive historical analysis. I heartily recommend that physicians read Broken Hearts to benefit from a dose of detective work,a dose of insight, and a good dose of humility.
(Jack Coulehan, MD
Pharos)
David S. Jones does a very good job of outlining how difficult it is to understand all the workings of the human body, what is involved in medical research, and how that research is applied to human subjects through the lens of one medical specialty.
(Katherine Burger Johnson

WHAT IS MY CONNECTION TO THIS BOOK -- "BROKEN HEARTS: The Tangled History of Cardiac Care" by David S. Jones, MD, PhD, the A. Bernard Ackerman Professor of the Culture of Medicine at Harvard Medical School? Especially given the title I have selected for this review, I should make clear that I have not been asked by anyone to write this review. Neither have I communicated with anyone about it, nor do I know the author or anyone who knows him. I write this review solely because I hope to persuade as many people as possible to read this exceptionally well researched, beautifully written, and ever so timely and important book.
And so that you might have some perspective regarding my own professional background to enable you to evaluate better my remarks herein, my own personal perspective is as follows. I am not a medical doctor. My professional career has been in finance on Wall Street, which I left after 30 years to establish my own financial organization in Russia. Throughout my life I have had a keen interest in medicine in general and in medical history in particular. Truth be known, although Wall Street was a great ride, I probably would have even more enjoyed becoming a physician or surgeon. Nevertheless, I have for many years been involved in different ways in national medical policy issues, and I have served for long periods on the clinical trial review boards of four of the largest and best academic medical centers in the country, during which years I developed personal relationships with some of the best medical scientists in the world. I hope you will therefore conclude that my remarks are independent and objective, and hopefully that they come from a background that provides me with a wee bit of familiarity about the subject of this book.
