Aucklander Laurence Reynolds, who died aged 107 last month, was married to his wife Claire Reynolds for more than 75 years, NZ Herald reports. A former heart doctor, Reynolds established the first coronary care unit in New Zealand – the resulting unit opened at Greenlane Hospital – and set up the first cardiac rehabilitation unit. He also advocated for the early mobilisation of heart attack patients, sometimes walking with patients in nearby Cornwall Park, to prevent blood clots and weakened vessels.
