Emmett Field Horine, M. D. And Morris M. Weiss, Sr. M. D. Were two of the early cardiologists in America. These two men specialized in cardiovascular disease long before there was a formal sub-specialty of cardiology. Both of them were awarded their boards as honorary members of the original group of cardiologists in the US. Dr. Emmett Horine travelled to England after World War I and studied with two famous cardiologists, Sir. James MacKenzie and Sir. Thomas Lewis. He returned to Louisville, Kentucky to practice this new medical specialty in 1920.
