Management of essential hypertension

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 1999
Hypertension, in spite of a very high prevalence, remains undertreated. This is not due to a lack of effective therapeutic modalities. Non-pharmacological treatments can be effective in many patients. If those treatments fail to reduce blood pressure sufficiently, the physician can choose between numerous classes of antihypertensive agents.

THE NATURE OF ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION

The Lancet, 1959
When Hamilton, Pickering, Fraser Roberts and Sowry published their four papers in 1954 I accepted the authority of Pickering and was blinded by the treatment of mathematical data to 8 places of decimals.
