The National Museum of Health and Medicine has opened the exhibit "A Healthy Heart,” based on a book called, “The Invision Guide to a Healthy Heart,” by Alexander Tsiaras. The exhibit, which examines human anatomy for both the scientific and lay communities, is the third at the museum that is based on a book by Tsiaras.
Tsiaras believes that “there is a great educational need in this county for public health education. Many Americans have no idea why their bodies are failing them or what they can do to make a positive change in their health.” The book is an educational tool to assist people in understanding what is inside their bodies, how the cardiovascular system works and what they can do to keep it healthy.
By using full body scans, ultra powerful microscopes, and molecular modeling tools, Tsiaras accentuates the body’s intricately constructed cardiovascular network and isolates the heart in a way that has never been seen before. The images offer unparalleled views of the heart as it develops in a fetus and grows into a complex network of arteries and veins, the heart as it becomes infected with disease and the heart as an essential organ to the rest of the body.
“Alexander Tsiaris and his group translate complex data- particularly medical images- and shape them into beautiful, approachable and easy-to-understand visual narratives,” said Mehment Oz, Vice Chairman of the Department of Surgery, at New York- Presbyterian Columbia Hospital.
Tsiaras, an internationally recognized photojournalist, artist, and writer, is president and CEO of Anatomical Travelogue, Inc. of New York, NY. He is the author of “From Conception to Birth: A Life Unfolds," and “The Architecture and Design of Man and Woman: The Marvel of the Human Body, Revealed.”
At the age of 19, Tsiaras authored his first book, "Death Rituals of Rural Greece." He later authored "Body Voyage" and co-authored "Information Architects." As an artist and technologist, he has participated in developing scientific visualization software to enable him to “paint” images.
Tsiaras is the recipient of numerous awards, including the World Press Award and several Art Directors Awards. His work has been featured on numerous television programs and on the covers of "Life," "Time," "The New York Times Magazine," and “Smithsonian.”
“A Healthy Heart is the next in a series of remarkable ventures into anatomical imaging and the work of Alexander Tsiaras and the Anatomical Travelogue staff. It’s an honor to share this with our visitors and extend this astounding view into human form and function,” said Adrianne Noe, Ph.D., the museum’s director. “The Invision Guide to a Healthy Heart”, by Alexander Tsiaras is published by Harper Collins and is available for purchase at www.amazon.com.
The exhibit is running indefinitely through 2006. It will be on display at the museum, which is open every day except Dec. 25 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The museum is located at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 6900 Georgia Ave. and Elder Street, NW, Washington, D.C. Docent-led tours are offered to walk-in visitors at 1 p.m. on the second and fourth Saturday of each month. More information can be found by calling 202-782-2200. Admission and parking are free.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
