A Heart in Chaos
Posted by admin Published in Tim Brookes, Inc. Copyright licensed by Creative Commons
Part blog, part personal narrative, part scientific inquiry, possible book-in-progress, “A Heart in Chaos” addresses the mysterious condition known as atrial fibrillation–but in doing so, it will ask broader questions about the heart, the lungs, the evolution of our organs, even the way in which something as basic as our heartbeat underlies our perception and understanding of the world.
Please pass this link on to anyone you know who has questions or issues about the workings of their own heart. I welcome comments, advice and new information from all quarters.

Tim, I am bookmarking this for when I have more time for reading. Yes – there is a lot of potential in this subject. You need to get together a really good book proposal. I have no time to help you, but there are numerous sites that show you how. A part of your project should be defining your market and identifying your agent / publisher. I found AuthorAdvance a very good place. They provide you with a database to keep your submissions… free.
Hi Tim- My good friend Cyndi Brandenburg passed this link on to me as I have suffered 2 episodes of AFib and an episode of what was called Junctional Rhythm. I was cardio-converted for my first AFib episode and my second episode thankfully corrected itself after many hours. I walk through life feeling like a ticking time bomb just waiting for the next episode to hit…still not knowing what caused my episodes and not knowing what I can do to try and prevent the next one. I loved reading your wonderfully written pieces. Thanks so much for putting your words, feelings, and experiences out there for others to read.
