The second George Entwisle lecture in hypertension: is cure for hypertension a reasonable goal?
On his retirement, George Entwisle MD, who served for eight years as Commissioner on the Maryland Commission on High Blood Pressure and Related Cardiovascular Risk Factors, was honored by the establishment of an annual lectureship at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine. We present a summary of the second inaugural lecture, given in May 1988. Much of the material presented was derived from the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program or from studies that followed. Both Drs. Entwisle and Langford were investigators in the HDFP.
