Overview

Directo al corazón es la historia de un inventor. De un médico que pensó ser ingeniero, pero que descubrió en la medicina su verdadera vocación.

Es también el derrotero de vida de un hombre que se dedicó con la misma tenacidad a la investigación y a encontrarle una explicación a todo lo que lo rodeaba. En ese largo camino descubrió y desarrolló nuevos procedimientos cardiológicos y no paró hasta que la muerte lo sorprendió, casi a los 90 años.

En febrero de 1960, en Montevideo, había logrado implantar con éxito el primer marcapaso, que alejó de la muerte a una joven mujer. Sin saberlo, había registrado un hito para la cardiología mundial. El reconocimiento nacional e internacional le llegaría mucho tiempo después.

Directo al corazón es el retrato de un país, el Uruguay de mediados del siglo XX, que a través de la educación daba oportunidades a todos los que tuvieran capacidad y ansias de superarse.

Directo al corazón es la biografía novelada del doctor Orestes Fiandra, escrita por la pluma de Diego Fischer.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Directo al corazón (Straight to the Heart) is the story of an inventor. Of a doctor who once thought he would become an engineer, but discovered his true calling in medicine.

It is also the life journey of a man who devoted himself with the same tenacity to research and to finding explanations for everything around him. Along that long path, he discovered and developed new cardiological procedures, and never stopped until death surprised him—nearly at the age of 90.

In February 1960, in Montevideo, he had successfully implanted the first pacemaker, saving a young woman from death. Without knowing it, he had marked a milestone in global cardiology. National and international recognition would come much later.

Directo al corazón is a portrait of a country—Uruguay in the mid-20th century, where education offered opportunities to all who had talent and the desire to improve themselves.

Directo al corazón is the fictionalized biography of Dr. Orestes Fiandra, written by Diego Fischer.
