Sushrutha, an ancient Indian scholar known as the father of plastic surgery, has perfomed dissection in cadavers before the time of Christ. He has described in his book "Sushrutha Samhitha" about how he prepared the bodies for dissection, his findings, along with diseases and cure. Although many of his findings may not be agreed by contemporary science, he was a pioneer in this field and his works are still referred in the alternative medical system. He has described the position, shape, and has also highlighted the vitality of the heart. His photo is hung in many hospitals across India and parts of the world as a form of respect. In India, the healthcare system is a combination of modern medical doctors and alternate medical practioners. Susrutha is a significant intersection between the two.

Dr. Mike needs to see this! Indian history is richer than we give it credit for!

I loved this timeline, but as an Argentinian girl, it's sad that he didn't include Dr. René Favaloro. He performed several heart related procedures, such as the bypass, and it was very important for medical history. 🇦🇷❣️ Always remembered here!

I have an Aussie fact that you may like, Dr Mike. The first successful heart transplant in Australia was performed on the 24th of February 1984 by Cardiac surgeon Dr Victor Chang at St. Vincent's Hospital Sydney. The same year, he established the Victor Chang Foundation. In 1986, he was awarded our highest honour for service to Australia and humanity. The Companion of the Order of Australia. He was one of Australia's greatest Doctors. Tragically, he was murdered in 1991 when he was shot twice in the head. Dr Victor Chang was given a state funeral. And in 1999 was officially named Australian of the Century.

Awesome fact! Adding to the theme from my homeplace, the first succesful heart transplant in Poland was carried out on 5th November 1985 by cardiac surgeon dr. Zbigniew Religa at the Zabrze hospital. He did not meet as abrupt an end as dr. Chang - lived to be 70. He did also serve as a minister of health in Polish government between 2005 and 2007. While the first succesful Polish transplant took place in 1985, the photo post 1987 transplant became National Geographic photo of the year, with dr Religa sitting after 23 hour heart surgery he conducted next to the patient, Tadeusz Żytkiewicz. Mr. Żytkiewicz died 30 years after that surgery, outliving the doctor that gave him a new heart. In 2014 a movie Gods (Bogowie) was made, telling the life story of dr Religa and his work that lead to the 1985 transplant, showing the nuances of unfavourable approach of the contemporary society to a new method of treatment, the ethical dilemmas regarding possible failure when attempting the procedure on a human and a struggle against bureaucracy to get permission for the attempt at the procedure. Well worth a watch if you are interested in what challenges were faced by the first surgeons working on making heart transplants a reality.

What's even cooler about 3D printing hearts, is they can use your genetic code to not only fix defects on the printed heart, but it will bypass rejection. No dampening your immune system post transplant for the rest of your life. This is also progressing other organ replacement research as well.

How does that progress other organ replacement? I thought that other vital organs all have complex metabolic tasks to fulfill which no printed organ shell could fullfill, right? So I'd wager that unless they can fill those shells with equally immune friendly tissue that can metabolize whatever is needed, this doesn't help? I'm truly curious now! :)

Hippocrates probably didn’t mean ‘the heart heats the body’ in a literal sense. As Galen explains in his text ‘Hygiene’, blood in the Greco-Roman era was thought of as containing slightly more fire (fiery matter) than any of the three other elements (earth, water, air). These elements had to be in balance in order to be healthy, so blood had to be in balance with the three other humors (fluids, each with their own properties). So the heart provided the heat, but probably figuratively. I’ve read some of the translations of these ancient texts. I’d really recommend it. It’s so interesting to see what the views of these people were, so long before science was a thing. I’ve even read a section that sounds surprisingly similar to germ theory (Galen’s Hygiene too). Anyways. Thanks for the content :)

When I was in the hospital with a nasty infection from a pulled tooth (I’m resistant to amoxicillin), one of the concerns was bacteria setting up colonies in my heart on the valves. The tech that brought in the machine to get basically an ultrasound of my heart admitted that it never got old, seeing a heart in action. I was in awe. Good thing Mom was there, to ask the questions I was too stunned to remember.

Thank you for mentioning William Harvey in your video - during my childhood I often had to go to the William Harvey hospital in Ashford, Kent to have treatment for my lazy eye and right outside the hospital is a statue of him holding a human heart in his hand.

Hi Dr. Mike ! Idk if you would read this but if you do , I just want to tell you that you are doing a very nice job on this channel.

What a great video! For anyone interested in the history of medical procedures, another date to add to the timeline: May 9th, 1967, the first Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). This procedure was performed by Argentinean doctor René Favaloro in Cleveland, USA. The surgery, as Favaloro standardized it, is the main treatment for coronary artery disease. It has saved and improved millions of lives by relieving symptoms, preventing heart attacks and increasing life expectancy for CAD patients. It´s considered one of the "400 most important inventions for Humankind". 1967: Heart transplants and bypass surgery, what a great year for cardiovascular health!

This was so fascinating and so well presented!

Hi Dr. Mike, Thank you for such an intriguing video about the history of the heart symbol! It was fascinating to learn about its origins. However, I wanted to mention that during the Dark Ages in Europe, the Islamic Golden Age was thriving in the Middle East. Scholars like Ibn Al-Nafis made significant contributions to science, anatomy, biology, math, poetry, mosaics, and architecture. In fact, Ibn Al-Nafis, a Muslim scholar born in 1213 AD in Damascus, Syria, was the first person to discover blood circulation in the human anatomy. He described the pulmonary circulation of the blood, laying the foundation for our understanding today. His contributions were truly groundbreaking and played a crucial role in the advancement of medical science. Thank you for your enlightening content! This is what really upsets me - there’s always missing narratives about the Islamic world during the Middle Ages. A lot of tools and advancements that doctors today are using came from the Muslim world during Europe’s dark time. Dr. Mike, this is not OK! Even algebra and algorithms originated from the founders in Central Asia

What a great video! I absolutely love history, so this one was definitely entertaining. I mean, they all are, but this was a nice change of pace.

Nice sponsorship!!!!! They're the best at home devices for sure. Actually that's what they also used at the hospital, only double checked with a manual device when my blood pressure was suddenly high and the doc couldn't believe the reading. 100% accurate. PS. Also the best pediatric thermometer for sure, accurate and can disinfect it perfectly. Yes, I'm a fan lol

This is fascinating. Please do more medical histories. The two I’m most interested in are kidneys (for decades I was the youngest adult to infant transplant recipient) and vaccines

This vid was a pill we all needed! Make more such videos!

Hey! I think an awesome video could be talking about all the future advancements coming for different types of problems people are facing today. From hair loss, to hearing aid, to organ transplants, paralysis, and more, I often find myself wondering where treatments are heading. Especially because it seems like some areas of medicine haven't budged in years, and it's hard to find information on medical trials.
