Comments on the article by Professor Dmitry D. Pletnev “Hypertension (an attempt to analyze its genesis)”

Abstract

December 7, 2021 marks the 150th anniversary of birth of an outstanding scientist, clinician, publicist and teacher Dmitry D. Pletnev. D.D.Pletnev was convicted unfairly in 1937 and rehabilitated in 1985 by the Supreme Court of the USSR. However, several more decades of the oblivion passed. The understanding of the scientific and practical creativity of this man and his contribution to world medical history – the real rehabilitation – has begun only in the recent years. The sphere of interests and competencies of D.D.Pletnev was extremely extensive. Unfortunately, very few publications of D.D.Pletnev have survived to this day, only one short article “Hypertension (the experience of analyzing its genesis)” was found, published in the journal “Vrachebnoye delo” in 1935
