Caring for the Heart: Mayo Clinic and the Rise of Specialization is a historical account of the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease in the United States during the twentieth century, written by American historian and cardiologist W. Bruce Fye, and published in 2015 by Oxford University Press. It highlights major medical advancements and the contributions of key individuals and institutions in both the United States and Europe. The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, is used as a central case study due to its prominent role in the development of diagnostic and surgical techniques. These innovations include the electrocardiograph, cardiac catheterisation, heart surgery, and coronary angiography. The book also examines the medical care provided to Franklin D. Roosevelt for his severe hypertension and heart failure. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
