  • Title: A tribute to Barney Marriott.
    Author: Cooper J.
    Journal: J Electrocardiol; 2009; 42(5):383-7. PubMed ID: 19695376.
    Abstract:
    In this brief tribute to Barney Marriott, I wanted to share the story of his life both personal and professional. Barney was a great man, friend, physician, mentor, teacher, and/or colleague to thousands of physicians, nurses, technicians, and industry groups worldwide, many of whom may not be aware of his passing on August 31, 2007. One simply could not have gotten through cardiology training at any level without having been exposed to 1 of his 21 textbooks or his 140 plus journal articles, or historical electrocardiogram (ECG) workshops. Barney was rightfully so labeled the "Father of Electrocardiography," and his book Practical Electrocardiography, the bible of electrocardiography. When asked who will take his place, my response is that he is simply irreplaceable. All his followers and friends can do is pass on his eloquent teachings, emulate his graciousness, and see to it that his name is written in the medical history books. Being a medical history buff, I cannot say that I have come across any physician in cardiology circles who has been so widely read and respected as Barney Marriott was. Enjoy his story.
