Robert Platt, Baron Platt
text:
Robert Platt, Baron Platt, MD, FRCP, known as Sir Robert Platt, 1st Baronet between 1959 and 1967, was a British physician. Platt specialized in kidney disease research, but he is remembered for the 1940–1950s Platt vs. Pickering debate with George White Pickering over the nature of hypertension. Platt's position was that hypertension was a simple disease caused by perhaps just one genetic defect, and he presented evidence of its autosomal dominant inheritance and a bimodal distribution of blood
