Murray S. Hoffman, MD
Hoffman trained as a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic,[1] at the time that Earl Wood and colleagues were perfecting heart catheterization and investigating the means of cardiac bypass[2][3][4] to allow for open heart surgery, and these methods were adopted early at the National Jewish Hospital (Denver), with Hoffman as chief of cardiology.[5] Motivated by the ability to now treat congenital heart disease, enabled through the use of the cardiac bypass pump, Hoffman was part of a team of physicians who introduced the use of the single lead electrocardiogram to screen school children.[5][6][7] Maintaining his close ties with the Mayo Clinic, Hoffman is a founding member of the Doctors Mayo Society and served as president of the National Mayo Alumni Association from 1977 to 1979.[8] As co-chair of the Colorado Heart Association Preventative Cardiology-Exercise Committee, he (together with his wife, Eleanor, Jerome Biffle, a 1952 Olympic Gold Medalist and Marilyn Van Derbur, 1958 Miss America) introduced one of the earliest jogging programs for heart health,[9] and Hoffman served as the president of the Colorado Heart Association from 1975 to 1976. In addition, Hoffman was a member of the Board of Trustees of the American College of Cardiology. Throughout his career he authored / co-authored 23 publications (listed below) in the field of clinical cardiology.
1954: Received the degree of Master of Science in Medicine from the University of Minnesota[13] (affiliated, at the time, with the Mayo Clinic[14])
1953-1990: Maintained a private practice of cardiology[15] (Denver, Colorado)
1955-1968: Chief of Cardiology,[6][7]National Jewish Hospital (half time position); member of the National Jewish Hospital's open heart surgery program (Denver, Colorado)
1977-1979: President, National Mayo Clinic Alumni Association[8]
1985: American College of Cardiology manpower advisory committee[18]
1990-2002: Closed private practice and joined the faculty of the University of Colorado School of Medicine[15] where he was rapidly promoted to Professor of Medicine and Cardiology (Denver, Colorado)
2002: Retired
2018: Died in Denver, Colorado at Rose Medical Center March 23[11]
