Seventy-five years ago, in the midst of the Great Depression, the Cleveland Clinic launched a new department, Cardiorespiratory Disease. With the refinement of specialties in American medicine it became known as the Department of Cardiology. This is a story about its people. Leaders with imagination and wisdom who created an extraordinary enterprise in cardiology and a unique partnership with cardiac surgery that succeeded despite the challenges and conflicts. It is also the story of the workers who shouldered the burden, and the organization that provided the supportive environment.
