- Title
Inferences From Secular Trend Analysis of Hypertension Control.
- Authors
Kannel, William B.; Wolf, Philip A.
- Abstract
The article talks about the secular trends in hypertension and its cardiovascular sequelae in the U.S. The author asserts that a reduced mortality without a decline in the attack rate would imply that either better medical care of milder attacks are responsible. According to statistics, there are about 10 stroke patients in the U.S., 41 percent of which are disabled. A study published in this issue questions whether the rate of decline observed is related to antihypertensive treatment.
