Eugene Braunwald, who was widely recognized as “The Father of Modern Cardiology,” died on April 22 at the age of 96. When I first learned about his death, I thought about our many conversations — particularly the two major visions he told me that he had for his career.
His first vision was to work with other scientists to successfully turn a theory into real ways to help prevent a heart attack and to minimize heart muscle damage after an attack began. He achieved that, becoming the most important cardiologist of his generation and radically changing the everyday practice of medicine.
