William Withering was the discoverer of digitalis which cures dropsy. Dropsy (nowadays called edema) is congestive heart failure. This means that the heart as a pump cannot deliver oxygen rich blood to the body and therefore stops circulation.
William Harvey was inspired to research blood circulation by his observations of the beating heart and the movement of blood in the body. He believed that the heart was responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, contrary to the prevailing belief at the time. Harvey's curiosity and desire to understand the mechanisms of the body drove him to conduct meticulous experiments and dissections to uncover the truth about blood circulation.
The heart was not discovered by a single scientist, as its function and importance have been known since ancient times. However, the first recorded scientific observations of the heart were made by the ancient Egyptians around 2500 BC.
William Harvey discovered the circulation of blood in the 17th century. He was an English physician and is considered one of the most significant figures in the history of medicine for his pioneering work on the circulatory system.
William Harvey was the English scientist who first described the circulation of blood in his publication "De Motu Cordis" in 1628. Harvey's work revolutionized the understanding of how blood circulates in the body, laying the foundation for modern cardiovascular physiology.
The same blood flowed through the viens and arteries. Nova AnwserHarvey is best-known for the discovery of the Circulation of the Blood!The first "accurate" description of the systemic circulation.(Even though he had to postulate the existence of the capillary beds.)

Yes, he did.
The famous English physician William Withering is known to have lived from the 17th March 1741 until the 6th October 1799.
William Harvey was an anatomist, who was most famous for studying the circulation of the blood throughout the body.
William Withering discovered the medicinal properties of digitalis by observing its traditional use in treating dropsy, a condition characterized by fluid retention. He conducted experiments to verify its effectiveness and documented his findings in his book "An Account of the Foxglove and its Medical Uses," published in 1785.
