Cardiology

In this work embracing scientific and medical history, the authors trace the character and impact of the pioneering physicians and basic scientists on the development of modern cardiology. Together with a list of colleagues, Dr Bing focuses on the individuals and their contributions to many scientific discoveries, corrective and life-saving operations, and important advances in the technology of cardiac care. From the development of catheterization and the discovery of piezoelectricity right through recent advances in research and clinical application, cardiology successes and setbacks are seen through personal recollections and impressions, and precise factual accounts.
