Description

In 1956, Freis and a group of physicians in several Veterans Administration hospitals organized a cooperative study group to evaluate antihypertensive agents under well-controlled conditions. In this first of three articles, they reported that various therapeutic regimens were compared in a double-blind control study on 326 hypertensive patients, 232 of whom completed a full year of treatment. The group found that a combination of reserpine (a ganglionic-blocking... agent) and hydralazine (a vasodilator) was far more effective than placebos or reserpine alone.
