AB The  15th  edition  of  The  Heart  is  a  milestone  in  the  publication  of  this  iconic  textbook,  which  has  been  the  lighthouse  for  every  cardiologist  since  the  publication  of  its  first  edition  in  1966.  The  first  and  second  editions  of  The  Heart  were  edited  by  J.  Willis  Hurst  and  R.  Bruce  Logue.  Dr  Hurst  remained  the  editor  through  the  7th  edition  and  in  the  year  1994,  in  its  8th  edition,  it  was  deservingly  named  Hurst’s  The  Heart,  paying  homage  to  the  inaugural  editor  of  this  enduring  series.  Valentin  Fuster  took  over  as  Editor-in-Chief  for  the  10th  edition,  published  in  2000,  and  has  devotedly,  and  meticulously  steered  a  textbook  that  is  a  landmark  in  the  field  of  cardiovascular  medicine  nationally  and  internationally,  for  all  levels  of  learners  from  medical  students  to  seasoned  cardiologists.  It  is  an  honor  for  the  editors  and  the  McGraw  Hill  publishing  team  to  pay  tribute  to  the  legacy  of  both  these  giants  in  cardiology  and  rename  the  book  Fuster  and  Hurst’s  The  Heart.
