From sands collected during a holiday visit, scientists discover a unique drug that makes heart transplant surgery possible. A dyslexic, deaf, motherless girl braves gender discrimination and goes on to invent world's most recognized heart surgery. Another young doctor creates unique devices using his kitchen table as a test bench which later launch the multi-billion dollar cardiac medical device industry.

Why do heart attacks occur so suddenly? How was a brilliant solution to the heart attack problem achieved through groundbreaking research by cardiologists? These and many more exciting matters of the heart are elaborated in A Gift of Heart.

Today heart disease is the No.1 killer in any society. Every third person in the world is going to suffer from ischemic heart disease in a lifetime and one in every four is going to die of a heart ailment. Each of the stories in A Gift of Heart is a chronicle of the triumph of medical science by ordinary people who achieved extraordinary goals through their work. When they are not quirky they are stubbornly eccentric, yet genius and compassionate. A Gift of Heart is a rollercoaster ride along with the personal prejudices, surgical triumphs, trials and tribulations regarding the most important organ of the body - the heart. It is a compelling account of doctors who gave new directions to medical research making possible the heart surgeries conducted today with safety and success for millions of people.
