Fiincial sup port for heart disease research reached a net high dur ing the year and as 1949 begins, more traini scientists are at work in the field and more research isfti progress than probably ever before. Although heart disease kills more men and women than any other disease, scientists had lit tle financial support for their re search in the field until three years ago. In 1945, the life insur ance companies of the United *1 SUtes and Canada recognized the 4 ^J lack of research and set up the " ^d* s first private agency devoted en-1 Sely to research in the heart , field. Each year sin c« ‘hen the . rrfahonshj life insurance companies have contributed approximately $600,- f^olestero __ — 000 to hospitals, universities and of mvestigafcn during 1948 individual students.
