tute. 1t was the second of the
Institutes authorized. The Ma
tional Cancer Institute had been
established IL years earlier.
Along with the Heart Institute,
Congress also set up the Insti-
tute of Dental Research and in
that year changed the name of
the National Institute of Health
to the plural.
The Heart Institute, as do the
other 8 institutes, conducts both
intramural and extramurad pro-
grams. This fiscal year it will
spend approximately $35 million
in both fields.
Expenditures for its extra
mural activities will be about
$127.5 million with the bulk Of
this, or $685. million earmarked
for research project grants. Re-
search fellowships will total
nearly Sc million; training
grants, SIC million, and State
Control programs, about 81 mil
lion.
Research and related work
work done by the Institute in its
own Laboratories will cost APP
proximately 500 million, with
nearly SIP million of this de
voted to direct research.
The National Heart Institute,
In terms Of appropriations, is
third largest Of the nine insti-
tutes i'm the National Institutes
complex. 1t is under the direc-
ton Of DIR. Ralph E Knutti.
DR.. Knutti, 62, a resident of
Bethesda, took over his post in
September 1861. He is inter-
nationally recognized for
achievements in advancing
medical education and training,
particularly in the biomedical
sciences.
Before taking over the direc-
torsflip, DR.. Knutti was as
sociate director for extramural
programs of the National Insti-
tute of Arthritis and Metabolic
Diseases. He had been associated

Today most of the 10 mil
lion Americans who have
heart disease have a far
better chance to live longer
and less hazardous lives than
they had Is years ago.
Heart disease is the No. 1
killer in the Nation 1t accounts
for more than half of all deaths
each year. The rate at which
heart disease strikes is showing
a slight decrease but the num-
Der of deaths each year is NOV
ing steadily upward. In 1852 the
number of heart disease deaths
was around 765,000. At this
time, the figure approaches the
one million mark.
Data assembled and collected
by the National Heart Institute
shows at least one persons dies
from heart disease in this coun-
try every minute. More Ameri-
cans die of it in four months
than were killed in the four
years of World War II. 1t is no
respecter of age groups. One
third of all heart deaths are in
persons under age IS. OF the
10 million said to be afflicted to-
day, over half of them are in
their most productive years
ages 25 to "a.
The break that tOday's suffer-
ers receive, their increased
chances of longer and more USE
ful lives, has been given them
by the thousands of dedicated
scientists and technicians who
labor in the laboratories, the
clinics, the hospitals, the univer-
sites and medical schools. the
private and governmental re-
search organizations, to under
stand the functioning, diseases
and cures of the miraculous liv-
Ing pump called the Human
Heart.
To help combat heart disease,
back in 1913 Congress estab-
lished the National Heart Insti-
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1963-05-16

with that institution SINCE join
ing the Commissioned Corps of
the United States Public Health
Service in 1851.
The heart, a muscle about the
size of a mans fist, beats 100,-
900 times each day. 1t rests only
a fraction of second between
each beat. In so seconds or less
the heart is required to push all
the blood in the human body
through literally thousands of
miles of blood vessels.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1963-05-16

The pump Of the human body
Is of simple, uncomplicated de-
sign. 1t sits diagonally in the
chest just behind the breast
bone. If line were drawn down
the center of the body, slightly
more of it could be seen on the
left than on the right. 1t has
four chambers and four valves
which, in the elementary sense,
function to prevent the blood
from travelling in the wrong
direction.
In operation, blood from the
body flows into the upper right
chamber of the heart. When the
chamber is full, the heart con-
tracts and the blood flows
through the first valve to the
lower right chamber. Again con-
tracing, the heart pump forces
the blood through a second
valve into an artery to the
lungs. Here, the blood elimin-
ates its waste gases while abb
sorbing oxygen then flows into
the upper left chamber of the
pump. A third valve functions
and the blood then flows into
the lower left chamber. Finally,
it moves through a fourth valve
into a large artery which sends
it through smaller arteries into
tiny tubes called cappillaries,
and into veins that lead back
to the heart all in so sec
onds or less.
Strong, tough, miraculOusIy
simple, marvel of efficient
operation, none the less the
heart is the culprit in cardiO-
vascular ills which beset 50
many and TO which the scienti-
fic skills and penetrating re-
search OF the Heart INSTITUTE
are dedicated.
The Institutes own research
program, primarily, is directed
toward acquisition of basic
knowledge about the structure
of the body and its biochemical
and physiological functions.
Emphasis is placed on basic
research because cardiovascular
diseases seem to have their
roots in the complex processes
of metabolism and the mechan-
isms which regulate them. The
Institute proceeds on the pre-
mise that basic studies offer
the most promising approach to
underlying cases Of heart dis
ease. Through accumulation of
knowledge from basic studies
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1963-05-16

the institute seeks means Of
prevention and cure.
Through the close-at-hand
NH Clinical Center, the Insti-
tute also conducts vigorous re-
search program more directly
aimed at the solutions of speci-
fic clinical problems posed by
heart disease.
In pursuit of it's activities,
the Institutes work is funneled
through about round dozen of
laboratories and branches, each
charged with specific fields of
study.
Included are the Laboratory
of Biochemistry that conducts
research on the synthesis, struc-
ture and function of proteins;
the Laboratory of Metab0Iism
engaged In research into the
complex processes by which
fats and fatlilke substances are
synthesized, transported, and
broken down by the body. Nerve
and hOrmOnal mechanisms are
of particular interest. II atherO-
sclerOsis 1.-THE major form Of
hardening of the arteries) is
primarily metaboIism dis
order, as many scientists be-
lieve, a fuller understanding Of
these processes may result In
prevention Of the disease, re-
tarding its development, or per-
haps, even reversing its course.
The vastness, the scope, the
hundreds of fields explored by
the Institute in search of facts,
prevention and cures of heart
disease cannot be taken In by
the layInan.
The Institute Laboratory Of
Technical Development applies
the techniques OF engineering,
electronics, and biophysics to de-
velopment Of physical instru-
ments and methods for solving
biochemicai and physiological
