Freis' Veterans Administration team reported in this follow-up article that in a double-blind study, hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic) was more effective than propranolol (a beta-blocker that slows the heart rate and pumping volume) at assisting patients achieve the goal diastolic blood pressure and required fewer alterations to treatment.
