John Brereton Barlow
South African cardiologist, born 1924.
Associated eponyms:
Barlow's syndrome
A form of congenital heart disease in which one or both leaflets of the mitral valve protrude into the left atrium during the systolic phase of ventricular contraction.
Biography:
John B. Barlow is professor of cardiology at the University of Witwatersrand. As a student he was nicknamed "canary" because of his references to rare syndromes and later he kept canaries outside his office. He is regarded by his colleagues as the ultimate clinical cardiologist in the elicitation and interpretation of cardiac signs in the classical British style.
