Sénac is remembered for important studies of the [[heart]] in an era when [[cardiology|cardiological]] medicine was rudimentary. In 1749 he published a book on cardiology called ''Traité de la structure du coeur, de son action, et de ses maladies'' (Treatise on the structure of the heart, its action, and its diseases), an influential work that systematically dealt with [[physiological]], [[anatomical]] and [[pathology|pathological]] issues involving the [[heart (anatomy)|heart]]. In the treatise, he discusses [[heart disorders]] and [[heart disease|diseases]] that he analyzed personally, as well as diagnoses that were determined by other physicians.
Many of Sénac's discoveries were derived from [[autopsy|autopsies]]. He was the first physician to describe the correlation between [[atrial fibrillation]] and [[mitral valve disease]], as well as the first to provide a comprehensive study of cardiac [[hypertrophy]]. He also conducted research of [[cinchona]] extract and [[rhubarb]] as possible treatments for cardiac irregularities.
