title: Management of Hypertension: Contributions of Clinical Trials.
abstract: The current state of hypertension management would not be possible without clinical trials, which have provided the most conclusive evidence of benefits from pharmacologic and lifestyle therapies. This review briefly covers the advancements in clinical trial methodology and in hypertension management. It focuses on three aspects of hypertension management, for which clinical trials gave conclusive findings where there were previously mixed findings from observational studies. The limitations of clinical trials are briefly discussed, as well. (c)2000 by Le Jacq Communications, Inc.
