William B. Kannel, M.D.

"Vasan S. Ramachandran, a MED professor of medicine and an associate editor of the journal Circulation, says Kannel's research inspired several generations of cardiologists. "He coined the term 'risk factors' and 'stroke,'" says Ramachandran. "He used prospective epidemiological observations to identify smoking, high blood pressure, Diabetes, and high cholesterol as key risk factors for heart attacks and strokes. He was an intellectual giant, but also very humble and a thorough gentleman who was loved by all his colleagues and greatly respected by his peers."
