Murray Stanley Hoffman (April 15, 1924 – March 23, 2018) was an American cardiologist, educator and diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Cardiovascular Disease, a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and a member of the Council on Clinical Cardiology (CLCD) of the American Heart Association.
Career
Hoffman trained as a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic,[1] at the time that Earl Wood and colleagues were perfecting heart catheterization and investigating the means of cardiac bypass[2][3][4] to allow for open heart surgery, and these methods were adopted early at the National Jewish Hospital (Denver), with Hoffman as chief of cardiology.[5] Motivated by the ability to now treat congenital heart disease, enabled through the use of the cardiac bypass pump, Hoffman was part of a team of physicians who introduced the use of the single lead electrocardiogram to screen school children.[5][6][7] Maintaining his close ties with the Mayo Clinic, Hoffman is a founding member of the Doctors Mayo Society and served as president of the National Mayo Alumni Association from 1977 to 1979.[8] As co-chair of the Colorado Heart Association Preventative Cardiology-Exercise Committee, he (together with his wife, Eleanor, Jerome Biffle, a 1952 Olympic Gold Medalist and Marilyn Van Derbur, 1958 Miss America) introduced one of the earliest jogging programs for heart health,[9] and Hoffman served as the president of the Colorado Heart Association from 1975 to 1976. In addition, Hoffman was a member of the Board of Trustees of the American College of Cardiology. Throughout his career he authored / co-authored 23 publications (listed below) in the field of clinical cardiology.
