Mess with these organs, and you mess with some very fundamental metabolic systems that govern how well the body recruits and uses energy--a systemwide disruption that causes systemwide harm...

"They'll point out things like, 'Hey, doc, I had my left coronary artery operated on, but you've got right written down here,'" Young says. "It's an important distinction...
