[PAR] [TLE] History of hypertension [SEP] The modern history of hypertension begins with the understanding of the cardiovascular system based on the work of physician William Harvey (1578–1657), who described the circulation of blood in his book ""De motu cordis"".  The English clergyman Stephen Hales made the first published measurement of blood pressure in 1733.  Descriptions of hypertension as a disease came among others from Thomas Young in 1808 and especially Richard Bright in 1836.  The first report of elevated blood pressure in a person without evidence of kidney disease was made by Frederick Akbar Mahomed (1849–1884).  The concept of hypertensive disease as a generalized circulatory disease was taken up by Sir Clifford Allbutt, who termed the condition “hyperpiesia”.  However hypertension as a medical entity really came into being in 1896 with the invention of the cuff-based sphygmomanometer by Scipione Riva-Rocci in 1896.  This allowed blood pressure to be measured in the clinic.  In 1905, Nikolai Korotkoff improved the technique by describing the Korotkoff sounds that are heard when the artery is ausculated with a stethoscope while the sphygmomanometer cuff is deflated. [PAR] [TLE] Thomas Young (scientist) [SEP] Thomas Young (13 June 1773 – 10 May 1829) was an English polymath and physician.  Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology.  He "made a number of original and insightful innovations" in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs (specifically the Rosetta Stone) before Jean-François Champollion eventually expanded on his work.  He was mentioned by, among others, William Herschel, Hermann von Helmholtz, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein.  Young has been described as "The Last Man Who Knew Everything".
