Franz Loogen

Franz Loogen (13 April 1919 – 3 September 2010) was a German cardiologist. He is a pioneer of cardiac catheterization and is considered the founding father of cardiology as an independent specialty of internal medicine in Germany. He held the first cardiology chair outside paediatrics in Germany and founded the so-called "Düsseldorf School of Cardiology", from which many full professors, chief physicians and practising cardiologists have emerged. He also looked after the Germany national football team at the 1954 World Cup as team doctor. Provided by Wikipedia
