My last correspondence with Dr Braunwald.
The kindness and humility after all he has done is unmatched. And perhaps that too is why he’s a legend.
RIP and thank you. My life was so much better for knowing you.

The American Heart Association mourns the passing of the legendary cardiologist Eugene Braunwald, M.D., widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the history of cardiovascular medicine. Over seven decades, his work reshaped the understanding and treatment of heart disease, leading many to call him the father of modern cardiology.
Braunwald was a lifelong contributor to the American Heart Association, helping advance its research and scientific mission, and was honored with some of the Association’s highest honors for his lasting influence on cardiovascular care and research. His influence extended well beyond his own discoveries, as generations of Association‑supported investigators, clinicians and academic leaders were trained by Braunwald or guided by the clinical trial standards and mentorship models he helped establish.

ALT Quote from JAMA, \"I thought I was healthy\u2014a lifelong nonsmoker. A wife and mother of 3. A psychiatrist and residency program director who loves her patients and her residents. And then I was diagnosed with lung cancer.\" - A Piece of My Mind, Jenna Taglienti, MD
