Description
Summary:Anthony Fairclough Lever ("Tony"), who was the director and driving force of the Medical Research Council blood pressure unit in Glasgow, Scotland, between 1967 and 1994, and, latterly, professor emeritus in the Department of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences at the University of Glasgow, died peacefully on Sunday 25 March 2018, aged 89 years. Instances are measurements of total body electrolyte content, especially of sodium and potassium, with Keith Boddy at the Scottish Universities Research and Reactor Centre, East Kilbride; animal experiments with Kenneth Hosie of the University of Glasgow's department of veterinary medicine; population studies with Graham Watt of the University of Glasgow's department of general practice; and investigations of the pathogenesis and treatment of cardiac failure with Henry Dargie and John Cleland at the Western Infirmary. [...]the work of the unit was continually exposed to scrutiny through frequent invited lectures and by an enormous body of published articles.
