The Lettsomian Lectures on Diseases and Disorders of the Heart and Arteries in Middle and Advanced Life [1900-1901]

"The Lettsomian Lectures on Diseases and Disorders of the Heart and Arteries in Middle and Advanced Age" by J. Mitchell Bruce is a medical work about heart and artery problems that affect older people. It talks about what causes these illnesses, how to spot them, what to expect, and how to treat them. The book also looks at the problems that doctors have when they treat patients and is based on lectures given to the Medical Society of London. Addressed within the narrative is an understanding of how heart problems develop over time, and how the heart changes when someone has these conditions. Bruce emphasizes learning from experience and carefully watching patients, which is key when managing cardiac diseases and caring for aging patients.
