Scientific revolutions require a series of paradigm shifts that are promoted by a series of discoveries. These discoveries, paradigm shifts, and scientific revolutions are dependent on timing, environment, and innovative pioneers. More than 50 years ago, a series of discoveries led to such a paradigm shift at the University of Minnesota which in turn revolutionized the field of cardiovascular medicine forever. Today, this spirit of innovation and discovery is alive and thriving at the Lillehei Heart Institute at the University of Minnesota.
科学革命需要一系列的范式转变，而这些转变是由一系列的发现所推动的。这些发现、范式转变和科学革命都取决于时机、环境和创新先驱。50 多年前，明尼苏达大学的一系列发现引发了这样的范式转变，从而永远改变了心血管医学领域。今天，这种创新和发现的精神在明尼苏达大学的 Lillehei 心脏研究所依然活跃并蓬勃发展。
