...conference in Washington, D.C., brought together scientists from all over the world to discuss the latest advances in cardiovascular medicine. Included were more than 150 lectures, seminars, and poster presentations by researchers from Harvard Medical School and its affiliated hospitals. "We have a very good reputation," said Dr. Eugene Braunwald, Hersey Professor of Medicine and Physician-in-Chief at the Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel and Brigham and Women's Hospitals. "When experts are asked to rank the cardiology programs in this country, Harvard's [Massachusetts General, Beth Israel, and Brigham and Women's Hospitals] are usually...
...Eugene Braunwald, chairman of the department of medicine at Harvard- affiliated Brigham and Woman's Hospital (BWH), ended Darsee's research fellowship at the BWH in May, 1981 after Darsee admitted that he had fabricated data for an article on heart disease published in the New England Journal of Medicine...
...that five years after surgery about half of all bypass patients are no better off than they were before, and many are candidates for a second bypass. "That second operation may be difficult and risky because the tissues are so damaged and scarred," explains noted Harvard Cardiologist Eugene Braunwald, chief of medicine at both Beth Israel Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. To avoid a second operation, Braunwald and a growing number of his colleagues believe that the first bypass should be put off as long as possible by controlling symptoms like angina with drugs. "What...
...medical detectives found a number of abuses. Darsee had recorded data from tests on dogs that required the injection of radioactive substances and the excision of the animals' hearts. Yet Braunwald and Kloner discovered from tissue samples that the animals had never been injected, and at least one of the dogs had been buried with its heart intact. The NIH found that all measurements made by Darsee were so perfectly consistent and neat that they "lack credibility...
While NIH officials recognized that "no system of procedures and controls can offer absolute protection against willful deceit," they criticized Kloner and Braunwald for not paying close enough attention to researchers under their supervision. Though Braunwald strongly denied the charge, the report maintained that "a hurried pace and emphasis on productivity, coupled with limited interaction with senior scientists, have contributed to the disappointing events...
