It was a privilege to know Dr Braunwald for several decades . We collaborated on dozens of HF trials , from the planning and implementation of the NHLBI HF network, the STICH trial, and others.

Despite his unmatched leadership and contributions to cardiovascular knowledge , research, and education, he often said his greatest joy was mentoring the hundreds of individuals he influenced directly and indirectly.
Truly the GOAT ( greatest of all time ) in our generation.
Later in life , he said Chris, you can call me Gene; I replied thank you Dr. Braunwald.
Rest in peace, Dr Braunwald. We will miss you .
