In 1981-84 I was a resident at the Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Joseph Solomon was a cardiologist and the CCU attending and the only invasive cardiologist in the hospital; he did only left and right heart catheterizations. Patients needing coronary intervention were sent to either Johns Hopkins downtown Baltimore or to Minnesota to Dr. Dudley Johnson. I took care of a patient with heart failure symptoms which turned out to be constrictive pericarditis. The case was reported and published in the American Journal of Medicine in 1985.
