Andrew Nicolaides

Andrew Nicolaides, born in 1938, is a British-Greek Cypriot surgeon who is known as an expert in cardiovascular disease and in the prevention of stroke. His name is also written in Greek letters in the source article. He is placed among the surgeons of the Medicine Atlas because his recognised field links the care of the circulation with the wider effort to stop strokes before they happen, a theme that connects surgery with preventive medicine. This entry is drawn from the opening sentence of a single encyclopedia article, which gives his birth year, his dual British and Greek Cypriot identity and his expertise; further career detail, posts and publications are left for later research.
