Dr. J. Willis Hurst, the cardiologist for Lyndon B. Johnson from the time of his first heart attack in 1955 and the principal editor of “The Heart,” a widely used textbook on cardiovascular disease, died on Oct. 1 in Atlanta. He was 90…Dr. Hurst and Dr. Cain, of the Mayo Clinic, oversaw Johnson’s treatment and recovery, not always a joyous task.
