As we stand in the early years of the 21st century, with hundreds of antihypertensive drugs at our disposal, it is difficult to believe that 60 years ago there was absolutely nothing available for the treatment of hypertension. In fact, it was not even universally accepted that the ???benign?? or ???essential?? hypertension needed to be treated, unless it entered the malignant phase. At that point, it was treated with desperate measures, such as pyrogens or poisons causing circulatory shock or with radical surgical procedures, such as severance of sympathetic tracts or bilateral adrenalectomy.Downloads
