AbstractThe National Academy of Medicine was founded 125 years ago during the French intervention in Mexico. Under the sponsorship of this brand-new medical association, Mexican cardioangiology began its development in both medical and surgical fields. After the Mexican second empire fell, the medical and surgical advances of this discipline continued. The corresponding publications appeared in different volumes of the "Gaceta Médica de México", the journal of the Academy still published in our time. Papers concerning cardiovascular therapeutics were published later in "El Estudio", the journal of the Instituto Médico Nacional, dedicated to research on national flora and fauna as well as their clinical use. These steps permitted the development of a true cardiology specialty in the 1940s, due to the vision of Professor Ignacio Chávez, one of the founders of modern cardiology.
