Herman  P  Gunnar  Lecture  2012  The  Herman  P.  Gunnar  Lecture,  presented  in  conjunc.on   with   the   CCVR   and   Sec.on   of  Cardiology,   provides   the   opportunity   to  advance   the   cardiovascular   sciences   through  the   exchange   of   late-­‐breaking   concepts   and  ideas   with   preeminent   basic   and   clinical  scien.sts  in  the  field.  This  lecture  honors  the  commitment   of   Herman   P.   Gunnar,   M.D.   to  scholarly   and   comprehensive   medical   care.    Born  in  Sweden  in  1890,  Dr.  Gunnar  received  his   medical   degree   from   Northwestern  University,   and   following   his   studies   in  Vienna,  Stockholm,  and  Edinburgh,  became  a  Fellow   of   the   Royal   College   of   Physicians   of  Edinburgh.   Returning   to   Chicago,   Dr.   Gunnar  began  an  ac.ve  medical  prac.ce,  focusing  on  accessibility  of  total  health  care  at  reasonable  costs.   His   ac.ve   scholarship   served   as   an  inspira.on  to  his  sons,  Peter,  an  aRorney  and  judge,   and   Rolf   Gunnar   who,   aSer   a  fellowship   at   Harvard   and   dis.nguished  military   service,   came   to   the   University   of  Illinois  where  he   later  served  as   the  Director  of   Adult   Cardiology   and   then   Director   of  Medicine.    

The   CCVR   Research   Day   is   a   wonderful  opportunity   to   view   and   discuss   the   latest  findings   in   cardiovascular   science   with  students,   fellows,   and   faculty.   Topics   include  Heart   Failure,   Cardioregenera.ve   Medicine,  Ion   Channels   and   Arrhythmias,   Vascular  Biology,   Cardiac   Metabolism   and   Signaling,  Cardiac   Muscle   Mechanics   and   Proteomics,  Cardiac     Resuscita.on,   Risk   Assessment,  Excita.on-­‐Contrac.on   Coupling,   and  Pulmonary  Hypertension.
