- W2888486125 abstract "This book is a collection of 109 brief biographical sketches of individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the specialty of cardiac surgery. They have been compiled by Dr A. Sampath Kumar, the former head of the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, India, in collaboration with Dr W. Gerald Rainer (recently deceased), the former Distinguished Clinical Professor of Surgery at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and a Past President of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Each vignette contains a photograph of the honoree, personal data, a short list of important scientific contributions, one or more interesting facts, and reference to a single “seminal” publication. Not all of the individuals are cardiac surgeons. In four decades of teaching cardiac surgery, Dr Kumar has observed that trainees in cardiac surgery have little time or inclination to read about the history of cardiac surgery, and he has prepared this concise text primarily to acquaint them with some of the important contributors to the field and to provide a quick reference source as they prepare for certifying examinations. He suggests that the text may of value to teachers of cardiac surgery as well. As noted by Dr Rainer in his foreword to the book, the selection of these particular individuals by Dr Kumar involves a degree of personal preference, which is certainly the prerogative of the author. With the format that he has used, it is understandable that some of the significant contributions of the individuals have been overlooked. There are factual errors that detract somewhat from the value of the book as a historical reference. Nevertheless, the text is informative, easy to read, and will be of value to anyone who is interested in a brief overview of some of the major contributors to the development of cardiac surgery as a discreet specialty." @default.
