He was the first doctor in China to put forward the medical term "myocardial infarction" and one of the main founders of "Contemporary Cardiology" in China. Chen Haozhu took the lead in using selective coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound to diagnose coronary heart disease, and used electrical pacing and cardioversion to treat tachyarrhythmia, which reached the international advanced level and promoted the development of interventional diagnosis and treatment technology for cardiovascular diseases in China. In addition, Chen Haozhu also took the lead in studying the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to treat coronary heart disease, and expounded its principle. For the first time at home and abroad, the treatment of lethal rapid ventricular arrhythmia caused by quinidine with ultra-large dose of isoproterenol was successful and popularized.

In addition, Academician Chen Haozhu and his team have successively completed a number of "firsts" in the cardiovascular field: intracardiac electrocardiogram measurement, hydrogen and vitamin C dilution curve measurement, intracardiac ultrasound examination and selective coronary angiography research. At the same time, Academician Chen Haozhu was the first doctor in China to put forward the medical term of "myocardial infarction" and one of the main founders of "Contemporary Cardiology" in China. On April 23rd, 1973, the first domestic selective coronary angiography was successfully performed in the cardiac catheterization room of Shanghai Institute of Cardiology, Zhongshan Hospital.

In addition, in cooperation with cardiac surgery, Academician Chen Haozhu also achieved a "zero" breakthrough in cardiovascular medicine in China. 1 In April, 968, Academician Chen Haozhu cooperated with Professor Shi Meixin, a giant of cardiovascular surgery in China, and implanted an imported pacemaker for the first time in China to treat1patient with complete atrioventricular block, which was successful.

Academician Chen Haozhu has made great contributions to the medical service in China. His life is brilliant, and his deeds will be passed down forever.
