This site presents a history of the research of investigators among populations. They worked in tandem with clinical and bench scientists to seek the causes and methods of prevention for common heart and blood vessel diseases.
It is directed especially toward students of medicine, public health, and science history, but aims to be accessible to all. It provides an overview of 20th century research and links to biographies of investigators, abstracts of studies, and interviews with pioneers and leaders in the field, with reference to key sources.
This web site complements an upcoming book: Preventing Heart Attack and Stroke: A History of Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology, by Henry Blackburn, Darwin Labarthe, and Kalevi Pyorala, Oxford University Press (in preparation). Why a history? Why now?
