Medicine Heart Circulation of the blood Cross-cultural comparison Arab/Islamic world, civilization and culture Cardiology 11th century 13th century 16th century Galen Avicenna Ibn al-Nafis al-Rāzī, Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Zakariyyā al-Majusi, ‘Ali ibn al-'Abbas

From Galen's death to the beginning of the 16th century, the world faced a drastic political change which resulted in changing the medical sciences status, therefore medical science papers were written in diverse languages such as Greek, Latin, Arabic and Persian. The Talmudic physicians, while accepting the Galen's sphygmology could differentiate artery and vein and perhaps recognize the heart hypertrophy and failure. Rāzī writing his monographs in Arabic, described a patient with aortic insufficiency (not under this name) and perhaps to be claimed that he, before Ibn Nafīs, somehow had been familiar with pulmonary circulation and diseases with signs of myocardial infarction and Madjūsī Ahwāzī was also familiar with this condition. Ibn Sīnā talking about the continuation of heart beat after animal's death describes pericarditis. Gurgānī had similar ideas, and then Ibn Nafīs clearly disputed Galen's ideas about the holes in the heart septum and correctly described the coronary and pulmonary circulations.
