Harold EB Pardee

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harold Ensign Bennet Pardee (born December 11, 1886 in New York City , † February 28, 1973 there ) was an American cardiologist . He made important contributions to the interpretation of the electrocardiogram (ECG), especially with regard to heart attack diagnostics.

Life

Harold Pardee was the son of Ensign Bennett Pardee and Clare Burton Pardee. He received his bachelor's degree from Columbia College in 1906 and his Doctor of Medicine from Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1909 . He then worked at the New York Hospital, which is now part of the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH). During World War I , Pardee was a member of the Medical Corps (MC) of the United States Army . From 1927 he worked as an assistant professor , later as an associate professor at Weill Medical College at Cornell University . Pardee worked in the American Heart Association (AHA) as chairman of the "Committee for Coordination of Investigation" (1927), in the New York Heart Association (NYHA) as president. In 1958 the cardiologist retired.

Pardee was married to Dorothy Dright Porter from 1918. The couple had two daughters and one son.

In 1920 Pardee reported on EKG changes in a patient who was presented to him in 1917 with an acute myocardial infarction. Pardee described an ST segment elevation in the acute phase of the infarction. Similar changes had previously only been described in animal experiments. The changes described by Pardee were called "Pardee's sign" by Paul Dudley White, a term that is largely uncommon today.

The textbook Clinical Aspects of the Electrocardiogram , first published by Pardee in 1924, established itself as a standard work. In the last edition of 1941, the cardiologist described an enlarged Q wave in lead III according to Einthoven, which he regarded as typical of old inferior myocardial infarctions. Such a Q-wave (> 0.03 seconds, at least 1/4 of the amplitude of the following R-wave) is called "Pardee-Q". However, it is neither specific to an inferior infarction nor does it have to be accompanied by such a change.
