U.S. physician and clinical cardiologist.

He received his M.D. from Rush Medical College. His case report on a black patient with anemia included the first description of the crescent-shaped erythrocytes characteristic of sickle-cell anemia, later shown to be the precipitating factor of the disease. Herrick was also the first to identify and describe coronary thrombosis.

▪ American physician
born Aug. 11, 1861, Oak Park, Ill., U.S.
died March 7, 1954, Chicago

      American physician and clinical cardiologist who was the first to observe and describe sickle-cell anemia.

      Herrick received his M.D. from Rush Medical College in 1888. He worked as an intern at Cook County Hospital and then taught at Rush, where he was professor of medicine from 1900 to 1927. He was also on the staff of Presbyterian Hospital in Chicago from 1895 to 1945. His practice, originally in general medicine, soon developed into a specialization in internal medicine, with a particular emphasis on cardiovascular diseases.

      Among his published material on what came to be known as sickle-cell anemia (sickle cell anemia) was a three-year case history of a black patient suffering from anemia; Herrick's report on the case included the first description of the crescent-shaped red blood cells characteristic of sickle-cell disease. Later clinicians discovered that the condition is inherited and occurs predominantly in blacks, and others proved that the abnormality of the red blood cell is due to an abnormal form of hemoglobin.

      Herrick also published definitive accounts of several clinical conditions involving the coronary vessels; he was the first observer to identify and describe the clinical features of coronary thrombosis (obstruction of a coronary artery by a blood clot). He participated in numerous medical associations and, among other honours, was awarded the American Medical Association's Distinguished Service Medal in 1939.
