...machines to restart a stopped heart have been devised on the West Coast. Both rely on the principle of pulsating pressure on the breastbone, thus avoiding the risks of penknife surgery and heart massage. One, built at the University of Oregon by Drs. Charles Dotter and Kurt Straube. is of model-T simplicity: an electric motor on a small table set up above the patient drives a plunger with a padded end that pounds the chest at a set speed up to 120 times a minute. It must be shut off as soon as a natural heartbeat returns, to avoid...

Through the needle the diagnostician passes a flexible steel spring, like a plumber's snake (or like the bass strings of pianos and guitars). The needle is soon withdrawn. Inside the steel spring is a single-strand steel wire for stiffening. As in the Syracuse housewife's case, polyethylene tubing is slipped over the steel spring. But in her case, the doctors...

Admittedly crusaders for what the profession calls "left ventriculography," Drs. Dotter and Gensini believe that the technique is safe enough to be used in a physician's office. Some cardiologists believe it still advisable to have the patient in a hospital. But they agree that if experience proves the method safe, it will be a great advance over punching a big needle through the chest wall and into the heart itself to get inside the left ventricle...
