  Cournand, Andre Frederic. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
He was associated with the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia Univ. after 1935, and became a full professor in 1951.
He shared with Werner Forssmann and Dickinson W. Richards the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work in developing cardiac catheterization.
This technique, whereby a catheter is inserted through a vein into the heart, facilitates study of both the diseased and healthy heart and often aids in determining the advisability of heart surgery.

As varsity swim coach and aquatics director for the last nine years, Richards has seen his kingdom morph from a steamy, chemical-laden lagoon to a healthy swimming environment.
The results were dramatic: the 80-percent humidity levels dropped to 50 percent; vents close to the pool's surface eliminated the chloramine-filled air; and swimmers put away their inhalers.
Putting it all in perspective, he adds "Dickinson's pool was sick, but it was still one of the better pools we swam in.

 [P&S; Medical Review:Spring:97] *On Diabetic Acidosis:A Detailed Study of Electrolyte Balances Following the ...
This study of the quantitative changes resulting from the abrupt withdrawal of insulin in the patients suffering from diabetes of varying degrees of severity has yielded considerable data concerning some of the disturbances in electrolyte physiology occurring during the development of diabetic acidosis.
In one of the patients presented above, W. O'C., the withdrawal of insulin was associated with the development of marked and persistent glycosuria and very mild ketosis, but without the development of acidosis.
It may be recalled that in the patient, W. O'C., who developed an insignificant ketosis, the peak of base excretion and loss of body water appeared within the first forty-eight hours of insulin withdrawal and thereafter the rate of excretion fell to a lower level which was, however, higher than that of the foreperiod.

It is of historic interest that two papers of this series (1941,3,4) use these concepts and tests to estimate the effects on "pulmono-circulatory" function of various types of collapse therapy: in the late 1930s pulmonary tuberculosis was still a major disease, and collapse therapy was one of the major modes of treatment.
In his Nobel lecture Richards noted that the advances in surgery of congenital heart disease were under way before cardiac catheterization and that it has moved ahead on its own but that the cardiac catheter has been a primary aid.
They were indeed an important part of what Richard Riley called "the Cournand magic" in his presentation of the Trudeau Medal to Cournand in 1971, and he went on to say that "one must be a little irreverent to convey a feeling of this magic.
