This volume is dedicated to Andrew G. Wallace, who as Division Chief of Duke
Cardiology pioneered cardiac rehabilitation nationally and at Duke in the late 1970s,
shepherding it through the early days of coverage by national insurance carriers; and
to Frederick R. Cobb, who spent the last 15 years of his abruptly shortened but
distinguished career dedicated to the secondary cardiovascular prevention principles
that underlie modern cardiac rehabilitation. Finally, this volume is also dedicated to
Sidney Goldstein, who, as Chief of Cardiovascular Medicine at Henry Ford Hospital,
both appreciated and advanced the use of randomized clinical trials to evaluate a variety
of secondary prevention strategies in patients with heart disease; treatment strategies
that included risk factor management and exercise training.
