Three members of the staff of Mt. Zion Hospital have presented findings which may lead to one of the most significant discoveries of the year in the fight against heart disease.
The three-Dr. Meyer Friedman, Dr. Ray Rosenman, and Dr. Sanford Byers all members of Mt. Zion’s Harold Brunn Institute for Cardiovascular Research, presented their findings before the Western Society for Clinical Research in Carmel. Dr. Friedman is head of the Institute.
As a result of the findings of the Mt. Zion scientists, effective treatment of arteriosclerosis, and possibly its prevention, may be found to lie in the discovery of some method of taking the punch out of cholic acid, or of flushing it out of the system. Investigations of these possibilities are already under way.
