“…The Cardiac Club was the start of an organised profession in Britain and the first group of its kind in the world.

In 2022, the British Cardiovascular Society celebrates the centenary of its foundation. Starting out as a small group of government-appointed physicians interested in heart disease, the Cardiac Club has grown and adapted to represent all those working in cardiovascular care and research. The historical stages of the organisation’s development are outlined, alongside major innovations in science and technology providing context for a rapidly changing medical world. Only a small part of the history of cardiology in Britain is told, with greater emphasis on describing the broader need for services, skilled workforce, healthcare policy and continuing education. Above all, the history of the British Cardiovascular Society is a story of people and places. The people are those with vision, attitude and leadership to improve the care of communities across the world. The places are those that enabled conversation, innovation and freedom to bring about change. It is hard to believe the remarkable progress in diagnosis, prevention and treatment of heart disease over 100 years, but a thriving modern Society must be the greatest legacy of its founders.

According to George Rosen the roots of Epidemiology lie in the mid 17 th century, although Hippocrates was aware of some of its methods. Cardiovascular Epidemiology can be traced back to the mid 18 th century to the pioneering contribution of William Heberden (who coined the term 'angina pectoris') and John Fothergill. Proudfit in 1983 cited Jenner, Parry, Burns and Black as the originators of the ischaemic theory of angina pectoris. Of these four, Samuel Black's observations displayed a particularly epidemiological bent and he was the first to notice 'the French Paradox'.
