Hur lever man med vetskapen om att hjärtat kanske inte orkar?
När Annika vid sexton års ålder får veta att hon bär på en ärftlig hjärtsjukdom – samma som redan tagit hennes mormor och morbror – rämnar världen. Men hon vägrar att låta diagnosen definiera hennes liv. Med ungdomlig kraft, envishet och en orubblig kärlek till livet ger hon sig ut på en sökande resa: genom sjukvårdens korridorer, in i träningens och kostens landskap, genom andliga rum och vetenskapliga svar. Medan hjärtat kämpar fysiskt, får det också utstå att bli krossat av kärlek, svek och vilsenhet. Det blir en resa genom sorg och förnekelse, via inre uppvaknande, till en djupare förståelse för livets mening och själens längtan.
Ett döende hjärtas slag är en verklighetsbaserad berättelse om att överleva – och om att verkligen börja leva. En bok för alla som någon gång undrat om kroppen kan läka, om själen orkar, och om det finns en väg till acceptans.
Annika Johnsson är uppvuxen i norra Skåne och har skrivit sedan barndomen. Med debutverket Ett döende hjärtas slag delar Annika med sig av sin mest personliga resa – med hjärtat i handen och pennan som kompass.

A revolutionary, science-backed approach to living well from ABC News chief medical correspondent and cardiologist Dr. Tara Narula, that bridges the gap between our physical and mental health to show how resilience is the key to both.As the number one leading cause of death in the United States, heart disease has several common prescriptions from cardiologists, such as medication, surgery, diet, and exercise. There is, however, one treatment that is consistently overlooked: resilience. We need resilience to get us to face new diagnoses, to show up to doctor’s appointments, to take those medications, to make it through surgery (and to recover from it), and to stick to that diet or new workout plan. That’s where this paradigm-shifting book comes in, connecting the worlds of medicine and psychology. Its application goes beyond heart disease to other difficult diagnoses and traumatic health events, and overall well-being. Over the course of her decades-long career as a board-certified cardiologist and journalist, Dr. Narula noticed there was something missing in patient care: the need to address mental health alongside physical health. To thrive when faced with a medical challenge, a patient must be mentally prepared to face it. This realization transformed Dr. Narula’s career and led her down an eye-opening path, studying landmark medical trials and the latest advancements in the field as well as interviewing patients, doctors, researchers, and thought leaders. The Healing Power of Resilience is the culmination of this work, offering practical tools to build your resilience, which Dr. Narula calls the “Resilience Response.” Challenging situations can lead to a stress reaction in the body. Learning to practice the “Resilience Response” when that happens can mitigate it, and therefore help prevent disease, promote healing, and improve quality of life. This set of tools leads you to the following: an acceptance of your situation; a flexible mindset; a change in lifestyle; an ability to face fears; a pursuit of purpose; a hopeful outlook on the future; a commitment to seeking connection; embracing a love of self and others. Through scientific research, pioneering medical journalism, and personal stories, this book presents a revolutionary new approach to living well—whether you're facing a health challenge or simply striving for a healthier life at any age. - Häftad, Svenska, 2020

Känner du någon som drabbats av en hjärtinfarkt? Då är du inte ensam. Det är den vanligaste dödsorsaken i Sverige och ungefär var tjugonde minut drabbas någon i vårt land av en akut hjärtinfarkt. Vad många inte vet är att man kan minska risken att drabbas genom att förändra sitt sätt att leva.
Bröderna Jakob Ratz Endler och Martin Ratz skriver lättförståeligt och intressant om hjärtinfarkter, vad de orsakas av och hur de behandlas. De varvar fakta med personliga berättelser, expertråd och konkreta tips.
Jakob är specialistläkare och har bevittnat många hjärtinfarkter. Martin drabbas oväntat av en infarkt vid 44 års ålder och i boken får vi följa hans upplevelser under och efter infarkten. En stor mängd andra patienter berättar också om sina erfarenheter och hur man går vidare.
»Jag vaknar upp på hjärtintensiven och får veta att jag ska genomgå en hjärtundersökning. De förbereder mig fort, jag får svälja en lugnande tablett och någon rullar min brits till röntgenavdelningen. Jag hinner inte ens ringa min fru.«

Varför flög ost, smörgåsar och gröt från frukosten runt i matsalen en morgon?Hur kom det sig att man kunde höra högljudda samtal i korridoren nästan varje morgon?Och varför kände jag mig skamsen efteråt, när undersköterskan drog i väg med mig i rullstolen ner till sjön?Stroke drabbar ungefär 30 000 individer varje år i Sverige, enligt statistik, en person var 17:e minut!
Min Stroke är en stark berättelse om den långa resan tillbaka till sig själv efter en stroke. Eller kanske till en ny version av sig själv? En plötslig smäll i huvudet, minnesluckor, korta ofta sammanhängande minnesbilder och sedan hur det sakta går upp för en att ingenting är som förut. De mest vardagliga situationer kräver enorm ansträngning och att vara beroende av andras hjälp.
Det här är berättelsen om de första fyra månaderna efter en Stroke. Min Stroke börjar med den ”smäll” i huvudet jag fick en morgon. Akut ambulansfärd till Karolinska Sjukhuset. Sedan enligt det underliga jag minns, en mardrömslik vecka (utan verkliga minnen). Därefter ambulansfärd igen till Södersjukhuset, för att kontrollera epileptiska anfall. Återigen en lite konstig vecka med en mycket rörig hjärna. Den tredje veckan innebar förflyttning igen. Denna gång till Danderyds sjukhus. Det skulle bli mitt temporära ”hem” under nästan fyra månader.

25-årige Adam Esser dog under en cykeltur i Spanien 2018. En timme senare började hans hjärta plötsligt åter att slå. Mot alla odds.
Läs den unika och fantastiska berättelsen om en ung man som fick sitt liv tillbaka och fick uppleva ett mirakel, efter att ha varit utan puls i över en timmes tid, något som chockerat en stor del av expertisen på området.
Det är en gripande, men också inspirerande historia om hopp och förtvivlan, smärta och glädje, sjukdom och läkande.Men även om föräldraskap, fotboll, musik, kärlek - och hur livet kan bli större, bättre och vackrare för den som en gång fått känna av dess oerhörda skörhet.
En bok om att tro på livet. En bok om att fortsätta kämpa. En bok om att vägra ge upp. Läs historien om Adam Esser, ett livs levande mirakel.
Sagt om boken:
"Stark berättelse om att aldrig ge upp, Esser var en gång i tiden lovande målvakt i IFK Göteborg." Olof Lundh, Fotbollskanalen.
"En fantastiskt historia, en fin och stark bok måste jag säga. En bok med ett starkt anhörigperspektiv." Kristin Kaspersen i podden "Nyfiken på".
"En fantastisk historia, en stark berättelse om ett mirakel. Boken är verkligen spännade att läsa!" Malou von Sivers i "Malou efter tio".
Utdrag från boken:
Dagen som Adam ska dö är en strålande dag. Lika eländig som november tenderar att vara i Sverige, lika inbjudande är kusten i sydöstra Spanien denna lördag hösten 2018. Adam landade in i Alicante från Stockholm dagen innan, sedan direkt vidare till den lilla bergsbyn Polop De la Marina. Hans pappa Klaus har varit på plats några dagar och räknat timmarna till Adam ska anlända. Räknat och saknat på det där speciella sättet som föräldrar gör och som barn inte riktigt kan förstå förrän de själva plötsligt är föräldrar.
Planen är några dagar med cykling och umgänge mellan far och son. Det är vindstilla, morgonsolen värmer och det klarblå Medelhavet syns från altanen när Klaus och Adam dukar fram kaffe, mackor och färskpressad juice från apelsiner inplockade direkt från trädgården. Adam tar ett foto och skickar till mamma Anna i Göteborg. Skickar iväg fotot med kommentaren ”Undrar om jag är lika pigg i eftermiddag efter cykelturen :)”.
Även om Adam endast ska stanna över helgen är sol och ledighet en välkommen kontrast till vardagen i Stockholm. Jobbet som skattejurist är, som många andra jobb, krävande, arbetsdagarna är periodvis långa och han har jobbat hårt varför ett miljöombyte är både välkommet och välbehövligt. Inför resan har han kört extra cykelpass på sitt lokala gym och skaffat ny utrustning av märket Rapha, ett par cykelbyxor och en kortärmad, svart cykeltröja. Dagens träningspass utmanar med samma bergsklättringar som en av etapperna från förra årets Vuelta de España, det landsomfattande spanska cykelloppet. Nu ladda. Fokus. Njut.
Träning har alltid varit en viktig del i Adams liv. Som tonåring elitsatsade han på fotboll och spelade i Blåvitt, dvs IFK Göteborg. Efter att han slutat med fotbollen har cykling istället blivit hans passion gällande träning. Förutom att träningen både är rolig och en del av Adams identitet så finns det ytterligare ett bra skäl för honom att hålla sig vältränad. Han föddes nämligen med ett hjärtfel och genomgick som femåring en stor hjärtoperation. I ytterligare en stor operation fick Adam en ny hjärtklaff när han var 15 år. Omfattande men absolut nödvändiga operationer utan vilka Adam sannolikt inte skulle överleva, än mindre kunna leva det aktiva liv han valt med elitidrott, krävande studier och hårt jobb.
Hela familjen - Adam, pappa Klaus, mamma Anna och lillasyster Emilia - har alltid varit högst medveten om Adams hjärtproblem, och han har ända sedan han föddes gått på regelbundna uppföljningar hos sina läkare på Östra Sjukhuset i Göteborg, där han med åren blivit en omtyckt patient. Beskeden från hans kardiolog är numera goda, allt ser bra ut, lev som vanligt och träna som vanligt har budskapet varit. Och att äta frukost i solen i Spanien i november är ett bra sätt att leva. Inte ett moln på himlen - förutom den där detaljen att Adam ska dö samma dag.

A complete guide to understanding the mysterious and often difficult-to-pinpoint disorders of the immune system--and finding the keys to diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.
An estimated fifty million people suffer from symptoms including fatigue, joint pains, depression, or heart palpitations — signs that the immune system has turned on itself, causing conditions such as thyroid disease, hepatitis, or multiple sclerosis. And while doctors may prescribe treatments to relieve these surface ailments, when asked about the life-long health implications of an autoimmune condition, they often just shrug their shoulders. Yet much like cancer, having one autoimmune disease puts you at high risk for developing another, and understanding the underlying immune process can reverse a patients approach to a dysfunction--for the author, it changed the way she ate, the vitamins and supplements she took, and the types of doctors she visited. Living Well with Autoimmune Disease is the first book that goes beyond the conventional treatments by showing you how to work on your underlying autoimmune dysfunction with natural and alternative therapies.

The New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Live, Super Immunity, The End of Diabetes, and The End of Dieting presents a scientifically proven, practical program to prevent and reverse heart disease, the leading cause of death in America—coinciding with the author’s new medical study revealing headline-making findings.
Dr. Joel Fuhrman, one of the country’s leading experts on preventative medicine, offers his science-backed nutritional plan that addresses the leading cause of death in America: heart disease. An expert in the science of food, Dr. Fuhrman speaks directly to readers who want to take control of their health and avoid taking medication or undergoing complicated, expensive surgery, the two standard treatments prescribed today.
Following the model of his previous programs that have successfully tackled conditions from diabetes to dieting, Dr. Fuhrman’s plan begins with the food we eat. He focuses on a high nutrient per calorie ratio, with a range of options for different needs and conditions. He shows us what to remove and what to add to our diets for optimum heart health, provides menu plans and recipes for heart-healthy meals and snacks, and includes helpful questions for doctors and patients.
By understanding heart disease and its triggers, Dr. Fuhrman gives us the knowledge to counter-attack this widespread epidemic and lead longer, healthier lives.

Heart disease remains the number one killer of women, outpacing breast cancer, diabetes, and stroke, with one in four women receiving a diagnosis in her lifetime. And the problem is only getting worse. Dr. Mark Menolascino has been on the front lines of cardiac research for most of his life, running a highly successful clinic where he takes a holistic, personalized approach to reversing disease and jump-starting health. Most of his patients are women struggling with symptoms and illnesses that stem from the most important, life-giving organ in the body: the heart. In Heart Solution for Women, Dr. Menolascino explores the many ways our hearts are the pathway to overall health. While the classic risk factors for heart disease—obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stress, and poor diet—are critical components, symptoms of the disease manifest differently in women''s bodies and can go misdiagnosed for years. They include depression, anxiety and panic attacks, poor sleep, and widespread pain, and can be masked during pregnancy, post-pregnancy, and menopause only to appear with great force later in life.Featuring the latest research on gut, brain, and hormone health and including answers to the most common heart-health misunderstandings, Heart Solution for Women finally gives women the tools to succeed, feel great in their bodies, and add years to their lives.- Del 3 - Penguin Life Expert Series

"As I walked away with my refreshments, I felt something peculiar. It was so strange it stopped me mid-step. I was forty-five years old, and I had felt many things, but never before this particular feeling: I felt a click deep inside. The image the sensation produced in my mind was of a BB, a small round piece of copper-colored lead, falling into a socket. It was a very clear image. A BB is tiny, but the one I imagined felt infinitesimal, microscopic. Yet I felt it, a click, metal on metal—like an expensive, microscopic gear had slipped, some exquisite piece of machinery falling out of alignment. Some medieval example of craftsmanship, a gyroscope, something intricate, needing fine balance. The feeling, the event, was located in my chest, below my left breast. It was thoroughly interior, as if a signal had been sent and registered, what those giant satellite dishes are poised waiting for, a transmission from deep space." —from Chapter 1 That was October 26, 1991, in what became a singularly awful day in the life of William O'Rourke. Minutes later, at the beginning of a Notre Dame football game, he began to suffer his heart attack. O'Rourke's account of that day, and everything that followed, is personal, informative, humorous, and highly literate. With its extended description of what an MI feels like and how people around the patient react, his memoir provides a bedside view of his experience and all of the emotions—both extraordinary and quotidian—that accompanied it. What is startling is how that momentous event, the heart attack, divides life irretrievably into a "before" and "after." Gone are the assumptions of what is safe and healthy; replacing them is a newly-forged relation of mind and body, a treacherous one which breeds a physical paranoia that only lessens after months. O'Rourke vividly describes the extreme pain of the attack, the forced inactivity of recuperation, and the melancholy of embracing life anew while accepting a heightened awareness of mortality. He knows his luck in having supportive family and friends, and uses his time away from normal routine to examine his family history for likely genetic proclivities for heart disease. Through his description of his experience—from MI, to angioplasty, to cardiac catheterization to, fourteen years later, a quintuple bypass and a second round of cardio-rehabilitation—he asks us to change behaviors we can affect and pay attention to our health. It does, after all, come down to this: "Here's to life." Enriched with a medical glossary and selected bibliography, this is a helpful compendium for other recuperating patients and their families, or anyone concerned about heart disease, or interested in memoir. - Häftad, Engelska, 2002
