Abstract
In my 35 years as a cardiologist I have seen tremendous changes in our diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to the patient with heart disease. Echocardiography, coronary angiography and programmed electrical stimulation of the heart, to name a few techniques, have enormously advanced our ability to correctly diagnose what is wrong with the heart. Also our non-invasive and invasive therapeutic possibilities have improved to such an extent that death from heart disease has been reduced considerably in recent years.
