Considered one of the pre-eminent cardiologists of our time, Dr Eugene Braunwald, MD, has extended knowledge of congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and valvular heart disease. Having published hundreds of papers and medical articles, with his textbook Braunwald’s Heart Disease cited worldwide, Dr Braunwald has received numerous honours and awards. Born in Austria in 1929, his family emigrated to the USA during World War II and after his studies he began a long, successful and hugely-influential career as a cardiologist. Now well into his 80s, he still practices medicine and continues to contribute to the field of cardiology.
