The legacy of Prof. Eduardo Sosa
José Antonio Franchini Ramires, Cesar Grupi, Mauricio Ibrahim Scanavacca
A Short Background
Eduardo Argentino Sosa was born in Corrientes, Argentina, on January 25, 1942. He started a medical course at the School of Medical Sciences of Universidad Nacional del Nordeste, in his hometown, but due to the political situation that affected the university in Argentina at that time, he transferred to the School of Medical Sciences of Córdoba and later to the School of Medical Sciences of Universidad Nacional del Litoral, in the city of Rosário, where he completed studies in April 1965.
His interest in cardiology arose during his internship, when he was fascinated by the existing diagnostic methods, such as electrocardiography, vetocardiography, phono-cardiography and cardiac catheterization, which began at the time. Hence his first scientific study, presented at the 1st National Cardiology Day at the Argentine Federation of Cardiology, in the city of Carlos Paz, in Córdoba, entitled “Intermittent Left Branch Block. Phonographic and Polygraphic Study.” He was soon hired as an assistant physician in the cardiology service, where he met Miguel Barbero Marcial, who later became his personal friend and changed the course of his life.
