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
