Dr. Manuel Cárdenas Loaeza passed away on January 17th of the present year. He was an unequaled figure of Mexican cardiology, as well as one of the most illustrious representatives of its golden era, that befall in the past half of the XX century. In fact, Dr. Cárdenas was a member of that generation who marked the transition between classical cardiology based on traditional clinic and talented inspiration and current cardiology funded more in experimental science, scientific method, statistical based evidence, technological development and prevention culture. Those, like myself, who had the honor to know him and work under his command, learned that under a hard and dry external crust, sometimes aggresive and other times sarcastic and mocker, beated a generous and solidary heart.
