Men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken (Luke 21:26).

Microphone in Your Heart

According to Newsweek the stethoscope, commonly used by doctors to listen to one’s heart, is due to become obsolete. A new invention unveiled recently by the Heart Association is a microphone that can record the sound waves from within the heart on a mike’s ceramic plate. This tiny microphone can be slipped through the veins right up into the heart itself and the vibrations are amplified as sound or as a diagram on a picture tube.

Heart Break

The divorce of pioneer heart surgeon Christian Barnard, 48, from his first wife Louwtjie, 47, was not exactly friendly. Louwtjie simmered while he married a younger, wealthier woman, but she publicly branded her ex-husband a liar when his memoirs appeared with some unflattering comments on their 21 years together. Now Barnard has announced that he has written a new book Heart Attack, aimed at “helping the heart sufferer toward a better comprehension of his disease.”

Simultaneously, Louwtjie announced that she, too, has written a study of heart problems—though ones not necessarily connected with vascular stress. “It’s a message of hope to all the women in the world who find themselves in a similar position to mine,” she said of her forthcoming autobiography. The title: Heart Break.
