A story of heartache: the understanding of angina pectoris in the pre-surgical period
J R Coll Physicians Edinb.
2011 Dec.
Abstract
This paper traces the understanding of angina pectoris over two centuries from its first description by William Heberden, emphasising the Scottish dimension in this process. Such a retrospect is appropriate at a time when natural disasters in several parts of the world are drawing attention to their effect in increasing the incidence of heart attacks.
