To die in one's prime: the story of Paul Wood.

Am J Cardiol

Department of Medicine Cardiology, Emory University School of Medicine, and Piedmont Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

Published: January 2000

Paul Wood, the leader of European cardiology during the mid-20th century, was internationally admired for his bedside teaching, clinical investigations, and an important textbook on cardiology. His studies, based on a unique quantitative approach to the grading and recording of clinical data, introduced cardiac physiology to the bedside, brought accuracy to the preoperative assessment of cardiac disease, and became the foundation for much of our current understanding about congenital and rheumatic heart disease and pulmonary hypertension. At the bedside, in front of a crowd of postgraduate students, registrars, and visitors, he was renowned for his showmanship and dazzling ability. His commanding personality--caustic, sarcastic, and combative--impressed many and offended some as he openly argued with himself and others to sleuth out the correct diagnosis. His 1950 textbook, Diseases of the Heart and Circulation, characterized by his lucid and personal style of writing and a fresh physiologic approach to cardiology, brought Wood worldwide recognition as the European authority on heart disease. The incessant demands to see patients, teach, and lecture, the burden of writing his third edition of the book, and his heavy smoking eventually took their toll. On July 13, 1962, at the age of 54, Paul Wood, the gale force wind of British cardiology and the inspiration and role model for many students, died quietly following a myocardial infarction. He left a legacy of great accomplishments as the transition figure between the old and modern era of cardiology.
