Morgagni was a contemporary of Malpighi, but unlike the latter he concentrated on macroscopic clinical and anatomic observations. His De Sedibus et Causis Morborum per Anatomen Indagatis consists of 5 books, written as letters to other scientists and members of foreign academies. He dealt with diseases of the head, the chest and the abdomen and with surgically treatable diseases. The final book contains corrections to the previous 4 in the light of new studies and extended clinical experience. One case history presented, of a patient of Valsalva's who died with edema and a bladder stone, can probably be considered as the first description of familial hypertension. From his clinical and autopsy investigations, Morgagni concluded that the patient died of hereditary bladder stone disease and apoplexy.
莫尔加尼与马尔皮基是同时代的人，但与后者不同的是，他专注于宏观的临床和解剖学观察。他的《论疾病的部位和病因》由5卷组成，是以书信形式写给其他科学家和国外学术机构成员的。他论述了头部、胸部和腹部的疾病以及可通过手术治疗的疾病。最后一卷根据新的研究和扩展的临床经验对前4卷进行了修正。书中呈现的一个病例，是瓦尔萨尔瓦的一位患者，死于水肿和膀胱结石，这可能被认为是对家族性高血压的首次描述。通过临床和尸检研究，莫尔加尼得出结论，该患者死于遗传性膀胱结石病和中风。
