Figure 3 Sones and Cournand at an "Einthoven Symposium" Held in Leiden, the Netherlands, 1979
Cournand (left) received the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine together with Forssmann and Richards in 1956 for pioneering work in cardiac and pulmonary physiology and cardiac catheterization. He had been an opponent of left heart catheterization for many years because he thought the risk was too high. Sones (right) reads the program of the symposium with Einthoven's portrait.
