CORONARY THROMBOSIS AND MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION,

Topics covered range from "On Fatty Diseases of the Heart" and "Infarction in the Heart" to "Notes on the Coronary Arteries" and "Concerning Thrombosis of the Coronary Arteries." Each article appears exactly as it was originally published, replete with charts, diagrams and illustrations.

W. Bruce Fye, Professor of Medicine and the History of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic, conceptualized this text. Dr. Fye, also the Advisory Board Chariman for the Classics of Cardiology Library, prepared an illuminating introduction to this volume, "Acute Myocardial Infarction: An Historical Summary." His preface, which replaces our normal Notes from the Editors, chronicles the people, events and advances that have led to a current understanding of this clinical syndrome. Fye labels acute myocardial infarction "a disease of the twentieth century." A primary cause of disability and death in Western society, it is little wonder that coronary artery disease has seen a dramatic transformation, from a "state of, masterful inactivity to one of intensive care..." in recent decades. Today's cardiologist, practicing a "new discipline of aggressive management,'" owes much to his gifted predecessors, who before him worked miracles with the most "basic and clinical research ... combined with experience at the bedside and in the clinic."

We at The Classics of Cardiology Library are delighted to bring you this original compilation of essays, representing many of the finest achievements the field of Cardiology.
