The Heart Chronicles: 12 Miraculous Cardiology Stories of Resilience and Triumph from the Front Lines
Your heart is the most dynamic organ in your body… What’s at stake when things go wrong?Your heart beats 100,000 times a day.
While your brain is asleep and everything else gets to rest, your heart keeps going… and it will do that even if it’s one day transplanted into another human body.
Modern medicine has allowed us to isolate the heart and remove it from a human donor, freeze it, and transplant it into the body of someone else who needs it… and as soon as it’s warm and restarted, it will get back up to speed and keep another body alive.
Dr. Abraham Ariyo is very familiar with this process—and he’s fascinated by it… but what truly piques his interest is the human experience behind every heart.
Affectionately known as “America’s Heartmaster,” Dr. Ariyo is dedicated to his work in cardiology and how it affects his patients. Through them, he sees the resilience of the human spirit.
This enlightening memoir takes an unusual approach, focusing less on his personal narrative and more on his encounters with his patients over a 30-year period.
Each chapter explores a different story, and you’re invited to get to know each patient and recognize the humanity and resilience in each one—just as Dr. Ariyo did.
Join America’s Heartmaster on this profound journey into the human experience, as told through the lens of a man who’s committed to caring for each of his patients… and in doing so, uncover more about the phenomenal capabilities of the human heart.

Dr. Abraham Ariyo was born and trained in Nigeria before coming to the U.S. He becomes a highly-skilled cardiologist. I love the closeness of his family with all the details he gave in the beginning. These are twelve stories of his patients written from each one's perspective. The stories paint beautiful character profiles of each patient as well as the serious heart problem that leads them to Dr. Ariyo's care and expertise. Dr Ariyo addas a technical explanation at the end of each chapter, often explaining the origin of that featured procedure. I was a bit uncomfortable when he emphasized repeatedly how well he did on one oral grilling exam that oozed of pride. Of course, he had a lot to be proud about! Perhaps it would have been more palatable to have the high praise for his performance come through the eyes of one of his examiner's rather than his own. The book is well-written and kept me eagerly turning the pages for more.

Adeniran Abraham Ariyo MD is a well respected man and doctor both in the community and among his colleagues. He is up to any task he determines to do and he will make sure the ends always justify the means.
He is well versed in the knowledge of medicine based on his medical background from his home country Nigeria, specifically from one of the best medical school in that part of the world where education is very rugged with erudite professors. It is no wonder he graduated at the top of his class with distinction.
His book is enlightening, informative and educative. The way he set up the narrative from patients’ perspective, medical intervention, history of the disease/diagnosis and of course preventive measures were organized in a simple way to follow.
It’s so beneficial to everyone to apply to his or her own daily activities and to the general public.
