You live from one beat to the next. In between, death resides. If after one heartbeat there isn’t another, the clock of life stands still. It might happen while we’re sleeping – or shopping. None of us knows the hour of our death. Your heartbeat is my profession. Sixty to eighty times per minute, this sound creates life. Most hearts beat calmly and strongly, some in a constant rush. Even if the heart stumbles occasionally, it always tries to go on. I have seen many hearts labouring with their last ounce of strength. The heart knows no weekend, no holiday. On your seventy-fifth birthday, it will have beaten about three billion times. It started its work eight months before your birth, twenty-two days after procreation. The heart is the first organ to develop, long before the brain and the first breath. Nothing works without the heart. It throbs through the years and decades, unnoticed – until something ceases to function. Or until a high-tech scan, by accident, discovers a defect that has not yet been felt. Afflictions of the heart are always dramatic. A pain in the chest is completely different from a pain in the hip. We perceive everything to do with the heart as an attack on our lives, on our inviolability. Even if later it turns out not to be life-threatening, an aching heart is a cause for concern and often triggers a fear of dying. A headache can also be a harbinger of danger; it can eventually lead to death by stroke or brain haemorrhage. Yet a severe headache worries us less than a light pressure in the chest. Deep inside, human beings sense that the heart is the source of all life. As a heart surgeon I have held thousands of hearts in my hands. I have operated on premature babies and repaired the heart valves of patients well advanced in years. I have implanted artificial hearts and stitched up knife wounds to the heart. As an organ, the heart has been investigated down to its smallest parts. We seem to know everything about it – and yet we know nothing. Every week there are hundreds of new scientific findings published about this organ that has not changed since Homo sapiens emerged 300,000 years ago.1 It seems that the French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal is still correct: ‘The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.’ Independently, separated by time and space, without knowledge of each other and despite different languages, all human beings draw hearts to express love, both earthly and celestial. Does this point to an inner truth anchored deeply in every human being? Or merely to a desire that we all share unconsciously? All great cultures, from the Stone Age to the present, and all religions and spiritual movements perceived and continue to perceive the heart as a symbol, as the biological centre for love, compassion, joy, courage, strength, truth and wisdom. But in the age of heart transplants and data migration, the magic of the heart seems to have vanished – as if it could not withstand our mechanised world. But maybe those qualities are precisely what we need for a more humane future. In Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, the fox says: ‘One sees clearly only with the heart.’ Yet so far we have not found eyes on our biological heart, nor sensors for compassion and love, nor a pump discharging courage and strength. However, we all experience these heart qualities as an inner reality that guides our lives. How, then, are these related to our physical, pumping heart? What can science reveal about this ‘other’ heart and its dimensions of consciousness? And how do these things influence illnesses and therapy? Aristotle believed the heart rather than the brain was the source of all emotions. Modern neuroscience argues that love originates in the brain. Has it stolen the secrets of love away from the heart? And is our language only a memory – but of what? Or is it just trivial metaphors when we speak of someone becoming close to our heart, of closing off our heart to someone or inviting them into it, of losing or taking heart, of a weight felt on or being taken off our heart, of a broken heart or something that makes our heart stop, of stealing someone’s heart or giving ours away, of wearing our heart on our sleeve, which is better than something saddening it or making it sink? What is dear to the heart’s heart? Some of these symptoms are indeed taken to a cardiologist – for example when they manifest as cardiac arrhythmia or angina pectoris. Doctor, I feel as if there’s a stone weighing on my chest. In the past I took care of these people solely as a surgeon; today I am interested in the whole human being. Heart surgeons can put hearts to sleep and make them beat – but they usually don’t speak with a lot of heart, rather in terms of mechanics: heart- lung machines, ECG, ultrasound or even artificial hearts. And of course they speak with their colleagues – assistant doctors, anaesthetists, cardio technicians, surgical nurses. A heart operation is not an intimate matter. The heart, hidden deeply in the chest and well protected by the ribs, is opened up to the glaring light of high-tech operating theatres under the concentrated gaze of many pairs of eyes. To the heart surgeon, it is first of all a pump they have to repair, the motor of life. In contrast to all other doctors, heart surgeons don’t only know this motor’s functions through video images and data generated with the help of ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) scans, intracardiac catheters or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Even in this era of high-tech medicine, it makes a big difference to one’s understanding of this organ to see it with one’s own eyes and touch it with one’s own hands – rather than just observe it second-hand via monitors. As a heart surgeon, I reach deep into the chest and put hand to heart. A heart is not used to such contact. Hearts can react very sensitively to touch. Some get a fright and respond with arrhythmia. Yet even sick hearts are strong, so powerful that their inherent strength astonishes me time and time again. When they lie in my hand it feels as if they are the essence of life, the pure and absolute will to live. For me, every heart is its own being; every heart has its own appearance. I never know what is about to be revealed to me when I cut the skin with a scalpel and open the chest. Some hearts are very lively and muscular, others a little chubby with clearly visible fat. Some betray their long path through life and appear tired and spent. Yet they all have one thing in common: they like nothing more than to beat. What is it, really, that I am holding in my hand? Merely a pump, or the origin of all human consciousness? Neuroscience has not yet been able to explain the mystery of how consciousness arises. The prevalent thinking suggests it emerges as a result of biochemical and electrophysiological processes in the central nervous system and the brain. Neuroscientists know the components, their functions and complicated circuitry very well. However, how something intellectual emerges out of the organic matter of our bodies, how a thought or an emotion is formed – this remains largely unknown.

Order a reprint of this article now LIFE & CULTURE Updated March 13, 2012, 10:11 a.m. ET What You Lose When You Sign That Donor Card Giving away your organs sounds noble, but have doctors blurred the line between life and death? By DICK TERESI The last time I renewed my driver's license, the clerk at the DMV asked if she should check me off as an organ donor. I said no. She looked at me and asked again. I said, "No. Just check the box that says, 'I am a heartless, selfish bastard.'" Becoming an organ donor seems like a win-win situation. Some 3.3 people on the transplant waiting list will have their lives extended by your gift (3.3 is the average yield of solid organs per donor). You're a hero, and at no real cost, apparently. But what are you giving up when you check the donor box on your license? Your organs, of course—but much more. You're also giving up your right to informed consent. Doctors don't have to tell you or your relatives what they will do to your body during an organ harvest operation because you'll be dead, with no legal rights.

  • How to Know If You're Dead
    How to Know If You're Dead Beating-heart cadavers, live burial, and the scientific search for the soul A patient on the way to surgery travels at twice the speed of a patient on the way to the morgue. Gurneys that ferry the living through hospital corridors move forward in an aura of purpose and push, flanked by caregivers with long strides and set faces, steadying IVs, pumping ambu bags, barreling into double doors. A gurney with a cadaver commands no urgency. It is wheeled by a single person, calmly and with little notice, like a shopping cart. For this reason, I thought I would be able to tell when the dead woman was wheeled past. I have been standing around at the nurses' station on one of the surgery floors of the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center, watching gurneys go by and waiting for Von Peterson, public affairs manager of the California Transplant Donor Network, and a cadaver I will call H. "There's your patient," says the charge nurse. A commotion of turquoise legs passes with unexpected forward-leaning urgency. H is unique in that she is both a dead person and a patient on the way to surgery. She is what's known as a "beating-heart cadaver," alive and well everywhere but her brain. Up until artificial respiration was developed, there was no such entity; without a functioning brain, a body will not breathe on its own. But hook it up to a respirator and its heart will beat, and the rest of its organs will, for a matter of days, continue to thrive.

  • Ludovico Einaudi Elements Tour
    MEDIA RELEASE MONDAY 7 NOVEMBER 2016 SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE BY ARRANGEMENT WITH ARTS PROJECTS AUSTRALIA PRESENTS Ludovico Einaudi Elements Tour WEDNESDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2017, 9.00pm CONCERT HALL, SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE ‘Effortlessly poignant and heart-rending.’ THE LINE OF BEST FIT CROSSOVER CLASSICAL SUPERSTAR RETURNS TO THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE With three sold-out Concert Hall performances to his name, master of ‘atmospherica’ Ludovico Einaudi returns to the Sydney Opera House to perform Elements and more, together with an electro-acoustic ensemble and visuals. The Italian pianist has become the bridge between classical piano and the pop charts. He performed a stimulating medley of Sia’s ‘Elastic Heart’ and Sam Smith’s ‘Not The Only One’ on BBC Radio 1, his music soundtracks tearful X-Factor montages to the Oscar-winning Black Swan – and he still holds the title of the most streamed classical artist in the world. The sound he creates draws from palettes as disparate as Philip Glass, Stockhausen and Radiohead. Iggy Pop, Ricky Gervais, Lang Lang and Nicki Minaj all count themselves as fans. His performances, which he calls “collective meditation”, have filled the rooms of London’s Royal Albert Hall to the legendary Fabric nightclub. In performing Elements, Einaudi’s solo piano is surrounded by the textures of violin, cello, percussion, synthesizers and marimba, with minimal patterns and shapes in stark colours playing above the stage. “Carrying you like a wave,” says The Upcoming, “sometimes delicate, often passionately forceful”. "Italian maestro Ludovico Einaudi is nothing short of a phenomenon, selling out the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall 3 times 3 years running starting with his Australian debut here in 2013 as part of GRAPHIC", says Ben Marshall, Head of Contemporary Music at Sydney Opera House.
