Abraham Morris Rudolph: an appreciation.
Dr Abraham Rudolph is one of the most distinguished pediatric cardiologists in the world. He entered pediatric cardiology (almost by accident) when the subject was still in its infancy and was present at--and indeed contributed to--most of its advances. He is best known for his studies on the pathophysiology of congenital heart diseases and for imaginative studies of fetal cardiovascular development and the transition to postnatal life.
