Ludwig Roemheld was a physician in the late 1800's doing caloric intake research when he stumbled upon a critical link between the stomach and the heart. Roemheld Syndrome was taught to physicians in the early to mid 1900's but is all but ignored by physicians today. Sufferers of RS are usually dismissed by their doctors as being hypochondriacs. Treating the heart and not the stomach in Roemheld Syndrome sufferers can be fatal.
