• The year 1948 may prove an important onin the his
tory of medical acience’s long and arduous invellgation of
heart disease, according to a year-end summaij issued by
the Life Insurance Medical Research Fund. 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. The total so evidence is Cumulating that
