Brian Blades, the editor of the journal, writes: "The electrifying news of Dr. Christiaan Barnard's technically successful heart transplant [in December 1967] has aroused various reactions in the minds of both the medical profession and the lay public. This brilliant achievement has many ramifications which should be placed in proper perspective. It is for this reason I invited Dr. Michael E. DeBakey to prepare an editorial for THE JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY" (p. 447).
