Description:
The last of three publications describing the results of the Veterans Administration Cooperative Study on Antihypertensive Agents. This is the work for which Freis received the Lasker Award.

They noted a dramatic drop in hypertensive complications--including congestive heart failure, stroke, progressive renal damage, and death--among treated patients.
