Heart Surgery
Prolongs Life,
Specialist Says
RAN FRANCISCO (ARi-Heart
surgery now is old enough to dem
onstrate statistically that it ac
tually can prolong life, Dr. E.
Cowles Andrus, president of the
American Heart asoeiation, said
Tuesday.
Although most heart disease
rases are not sutlable for opera
tion and even then the results may
be poor in 15 to 30 per cent of
those who risk surgery, the bene
fits among the successful cases
are substantial, Dr. Andrus told a
news conference.
t unic Head
Dr. Andrus is head of the adult
cardiac clinic at Johns Hopkins
Univeratiy and a consultant to
Walter Reed Army - Hospital,
Washington. He came here to ad
dress a meeting of the San Fran
cisco Heart association.
Only about one-third of the
rheumatic heart cases which come
to the attention of hospitals are
accepted for surgery, Dr. Andrus
said. In about half these cases, he
added, the results are excellent,
and most of the patients will con
tinue to Improve.
Outcome Can Be Good
In 20 per cent the outcome can
be classed as good; In another 15
per cent i3 fair, and in the remain
der it is poor.
There still are no specific fig
ures on the extent to which life
is lengthened in the successful and
good cases because the operation
was not done generally until about
eight years ago. However, many
of the first patients still are alive
and reasonably healthy and the
outlook for patients in the recent
years is exceptionally bright, the
physician said.
5-8 Per Cent Deaths
For the over-all number of
rheumatic heart surgery cases the
rate of death during the operative
period is 5-8 per cent, Dr. Andrus
said!.
to a (1 o p t the freezing tactics ]
which Browning believed might
bring iiis team victory.
Browning, also reached hy
telephone, said he did not start
the game with the Intention of
freezing the ball, lie said that
toward the end of the first
half, with Furman ahead 25-20,
“Coach Alley put in a tight
2-3 zone with tall hoys under
the basket.”
"Since we don't have anybody
who can hit well from the out
side, we decided to work the ball
deliberately in an attempt to get
a good shot at the basket. When
Alley's team goU the ball later
after we missed, Furman started :
holding the ball outside.
"I Instructed my boys to let
them hold the ball outside be
cause we were only five points
la-hind. My idea was that If we
could go into the last four min
utes still only five points behind,
we would have a good chance of
pulling an upset.
“We could take chances, put
the pressure on them, and if
we were lucky we could hit a
few and win. We almost did
win.”
However, Alley said he be
lieved fans pay their money to
see fast-break, high scoring bas
ketball and freezing hurts the
college game.
Guard Fred Fraley of Furman
took the second half tipoff and
for 14 and a half minutes held the
ball near midcourt. Alley said
during that time The Citadel
made no effort to come out from
downcourt.
Furman's only point during the
second half was a free throw by
forward Dave Hailey.
The Citadel made both its field
goals in the second half after
gaining possession of the ball
when Furman missed free throw
shots.
