George E. Burch
George Edward Burch (1910–1986) was a shaper of modern cardiology during the middle part of the twentieth century, whose accomplishments included elucidating the fundamental physiological basis of important cardiovascular diseases, in addition to contributions to the teaching of medicine and cardiology.〔(New York Times obituary ), by Joan Cook, April 23, 1986.〕 He was chairman of the Department of Medicine at Tulane University for many years. He is best known for his research in electrocardiography and vectorcardiography, for contributions to understanding viral-based cardiovascular diseases, for 12 books in the field of medicine and cardiology, and for more than 850 publications in the scholarly literature. He is also credited with the invention of the phlebomanometer, an instrument for measuring pressure in small veins.〔(G.E. Burch, T. Winsor ), Journal of the American Medical Association, 1943, 123(2), 91-2.〕 He elucidated effects of climate on the cardiovascular system〔V.B. Martin, "The Celestial Society", pp. 130-4, Xlibris Corporation, ISBN 978-1-4500-8799-5.〕 and on congestive heart failure.〔V.B. Martin, "The Celestial Society", pp. 136-7, Xlibris Corporation, ISBN 978-1-4500-8799-5.〕 He was a pioneer in the use of (radioisotopes as tracers in medical research ). Additionally Burch had wide influence as editor of the (American Heart Journal ) (1959–82) and was an early anti-smoking activist.〔Biographical Note, "Finding Aid to the George Edward Burch Papers, 1926-1977" (web page of the National Library of Medicine, http://www.nlm.nih.gov/hmd/manuscripts/ead/burch.html), accessed 9 May 2008.〕

Burch was published in 2010.〔"The Celestial Society: A Life in Medicine", Vivian Burch Martin, Xlibris Corporation, 2010, ISBN 978-1-4500-8800-8.〕 An on-line biography is maintained by the (Association of University Cardiologists ).〔http://www.aucard.org/Memorials/Burch.htm〕 He has also been memorialized at Tulane University Medical Center in their organization of former internal medicine residents, the Musser-Burch Society. A bronze bust of George E. Burch by sculptor (Jean Seidenberg ) is prominent in the main lobby of (Tulane University School of Medicine ). An oil painting, ''Portrait of George E.

== Heritage and early life ==
Burch was born on January 10, 1910 as the oldest of 8 siblings in Edgard, Louisiana, a river community that is part of the German Coast of Louisiana, of heritage emigrating from French provincial Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines in the early 1850s.〔 His father was a rural general practitioner who involved Burch as a child and teenager in his medical practice, instilling a sense of the excitement and compassion of medicine. These early life experiences in rural Louisiana exposed Burch to people suffering from a variety of tropical and subtropical illnesses, in addition to effects of under-nutrition and the common illnesses of the day. He developed early a compassion for the suffering of underprivileged people that remained with him for the duration of his career.〔
