Synopsis of The Mysterious Human Heart [TV Documentary Series]

A collaboration between Award-winning filmmaker David Grubin and the PBS affilitates WNET-New York and WETA-Washington DC, The Mysterious Human Heart was a three-part miniseries offering a guided tour of that vital organ, showing how it work, where things can go wrong, and the medical and technological methods to keep the heart running at capacity. The production included testimony from people whose hearts had failed them, but lived to tell about it, and also itemized the myths, misunderstandings and misconceptions surrounding the heart. Individual episodes included "Endlessly Beating", the story of the artificial heart; "The Spark of Life", aka "Anatomy of a Pacemaker"; and "The Silent Killer" (atherosclerosis). The series was released in conjunction with a Community Outreach campaign and the distribution of an Education Guide. Narrated by actress Blair Brown, The Mysterious Human Heart first aired over the nationwide PBS hookup on October 15, 2007. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
