Excerpt from Diseases of the Arteries Including Angina Pectoris, Vol. 2 of 2
"Cardiosclerosis." - In all my papers, from the time that I began to write on these subjects, I have urged that in arteriosclerosis closer and more discriminating attention should be given to the conditions of the heart, and that our common phrases - for instance, that of "cardiosclerosis," or in still finer language "Myodegeneratio cardiosclerotica" - should be more considered. By the indiscriminate use of this term, the heart is brought into common condemnation with sclerosed vessels, a view which is only partially justifiable.
Huchard"s Views. - We are in a position to consider the opinions of the late M. Huchard on this matter in their final form as, by request, he presented them finally in 1908 and 1909; in 1908 at the International Congress at Buda-Pest, in 1909 as "specially reported" by himself to a representative of the Medical Press. On both occasions Huchard began by reiterating his postulate, that all arteriosclerosis, whether regarded as an anatomical lesion or as a clinical series, is one disease, a malady attacking heart, arteries, and kidneys as a whole; the affection of the heart being homologous with that of the arteries. In his view the heart goes down, not as vanquished in a strife against odds, but in a co-ordinated retrogression. The mere senile heart he explicitly withdrew from the category of arteriosclerosis.
