	Werner Forssmann - Biography
		Werner Theodor Otto Forssmann was born in Berlin on August 29, 1904, the son of Julius Forssmann and Emmy Hindenberg.
		At the beginning of the Second World War, Forssmann served as a Sanitary Officer, reaching the rank of Surgeon-Major; but he became a prisoner of war until his release in 1945, when he went into practice with his wife, in the Schwarzwald.
		In 1933 Forssmann married Dr. Elsbet Engel, who is also a specialist in urology.

		A pioneer in heart research, Forssmann contributed to the development of cardiac catheterization, a procedure in which a tube is inserted into a vein at the elbow and passed through the vein into the heart.
		Forssmann's daring experiment was condemned at the time as foolhardy and dangerous, and in the face of severe criticism he abandoned cardiology for urology.
		Forssmann's procedure, with slight modifications, was put into practice in 1941 by Richards and Cournand, and has since become an extremely valuable tool in diagnosis and research.

		A German physician, Werner Forssmann, was the first known doctor to enter the heart with a catheter.
		Forssmann persuaded a nurse to get him the instruments, convincing her he would use the catheter on her.
		But when she was lying on the operating table waiting to be operated on, Forssmann strapped her down so she could not interfere, and then instead performed the operation on himself.

		Forssmann, Werner, 1904-79, German physician and physiologist, M.D. Univ. of Berlin (1929).
		In the late 1920s, he developed the technique of cardiac catheterization, whereby a long tube (catheter) is inserted into a vein in the arm and pushed through the vein until it reaches the heart.
		Forssmann and the two Americans shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work.

	Werner Forssmann Biographical Sketch -- Angioplasty.Org
		Forssmann's goal was to find a safe way to inject drugs for cardiac resuscitation.
		He was determined that catheterization was the key, but it was believed at the time that any entry into the heart would be fatal.
		Forssmann was immediately fired for his self-experimentation, despite the significance of his discovery.

		Forssmann invented the heart catheter, a thin flexible tube which can be inserted into the peripheral blood vessel and then be navigated toward the heart.
		Forssmann tested first catheter on himself, inserting a 2.5 foot (76 cm) catheter into the vein of his arm and pushing it into the right atrium.
		He was harshly criticized for the foolishness and danger of the procedure and abandoned it altogether.

		Without Forssmann's self-experimentation in 1929 and the research building upon his discovery carried out by the American scientists, modern heart diagnostics and therapy would have had to do without a tool now deemed indispensable.
		At 25, Forssmann had shown on his own body that a catheter could be inserted through a vein into the heart, without endangering the patient.
		Forssmann died on June 1, 1979 in Schopfheim, Baden-Wuerttemberg.

	Werner Forssmann
		While German physician Werner Forssmann was still an intern, he theorized the basics of cardiac catheterization, whereby a long, very narrow tube (a catheter) is inserted into a vein at the elbow, then advanced through the blood vessel until it reaches the heart.
		After his audacious experiment Forssmann published a paper on his success, suggesting that this technique would allow measurements of blood pressure inside the heart, and could be used to introduce radiopaque dyes, allowing detailed x-rays of the heart that would expose any abnormalities.
		His son, physicist Bernd Forssmann, helped develop the first clinical lithotriptor, a non-invasive device for breaking up gallstones without surgery, which is now used on millions of patients worldwide every year.

		Dr. Werner Forssmann was young (25) and eager to prove the worth of a revolutionary idea: that it should be possible to learn more about the inside of a diseased human heart by inserting a thin rubber tube (catheter) into it.
		With the tube in place, Dr. Forssmann climbed two flights of stairs to the X-ray room, and persuaded the radiologist to take a picture as photographic proof that its tip had entered the right side of his heart.
		The technique, he reported in a learned paper in 1929, would be valuable for studying the blood pressure inside the heart, and for injecting radiopaque dyes to get X rays of the heart, including abnormalities.

		The first human heart catheter was developed in 1929 by a German physician named Dr. Werner Forssmann.
		Forssmann performed catheterization experiments on himself by threading a well-lubricated rubber catheter into a vein in his left arm until it reached his collarbone.
		Although his unorthodox experiments were initially rejected by his peers, Forssmann persisted.

		In 1929, as a surgical resident at a small country hospital in Germany, Forssmann became interested in delivering medicine directly to the heart through a catheter.
		Many in the medical community were outraged by Forssmann's work, presumably for its daring nature, and he shrank from doing any more research.
		In 1956, Forssmann shared a Nobel Prize with Dickinson Richards and Andre Cournand, doctors at New York Hospital who studied heart function using catheters.

		In 1929, a German surgical trainee, Werner Forssmann, experimented on a human cadaver and realized how easy it was to guide a urological catheter from an arm vein into the right atrium.
		In the early 1940's, however, Andre Cournand, working in New York with Hilmert Ranges and Dickinson Richards, began utilizing right heart catheterization on a regular basis in the undertaking of a comprehensive investigation of cardiac function in both normal and diseased patients.
		In 1956, Cournand, Richards and Forssmann shared the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine for their contributions to the advancement of cardiac catheterization.
