Paul Dudley White

By the way, this post comes from Salma Hul on X. I have to give him credit.

Paul Dudley White, Eisenhower's doctor, founder of the American Heart Association Science.

Okay, so this is a big guy.

AHA, this is where we get all of the standard of care guidelines when it comes to heart failure, heart disease, CVD, even some links to metabolic disease and metabolic dysfunction.

Eisenhower is rushed to Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in a Secret Service car, and later that day, the American public learns that their war hero president, a five-star general, is on oxygen in a hospital in Denver.

In Boston, an eminent cardiologist named Paul Dudley White hears the news on his car radio.

A couple hours later, he finds himself summoned to the president's bedside to examine the nation's most famous patient.

Soon after that, White is standing in front of about 150 reporters and he tries to deliver calming news.

Nothing like this has really been tried before.

To make it happen, he needs to do what's called a pilot study, test his approach, and he doesn't wanna do this alone.

So in 1953, he reaches out to America's favorite cardiologist, Paul Dudley White.

He's widely regarded as one of the founders of preventive cardiology.
