Biography

He has made a number of pioneering contributions to the field of cardiology and medical education of the physical examination. He was also instrumental in the development of the Los Angeles County Fire Department's Paramedic program in 1969.[2] He is an authority on cardiac hemodynamics, cardiac auscultation, cardiac catheterization, and valvar heart disease. He served for 25 years as Division Chief at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California. In addition, he is also credited with the term mitral valve prolapse, after demonstrating to Dr. Barlow that it was not aneurysm of the mitral leaflet but rather displacement of the leaflet that led to the condition.

gollark: Pascal's Mugging: someone comes up to you and says "give me £100 or I will eternally torture you and 10000 copies of you". Now, obviously, this is quite implausible. But it's a finite chance of an infinitely bad outcome, versus losing that finite amount of money, so you should do it, right?
