ANNUAL SCREENING RECOMMENDED FOR PEOPLE WITH HIGH-NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE (pp 1659, 1682)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how people with normal or high-normal (slightly raised, but not high) blood pressure can progress to high blood pressure (hypertension) over a four-year period, which is positively associated with advancing age and weight increase.

New trial sparks debate over treatment of diabetic hypertensives
A major new international study published in the Journal of Hypertension (July 21 2004) has challenged traditional thinking by revealing that the thiazide-like diuretic indapamide SR (Natrilix SR) has equivalent efficacy to enalapril in reducing microalbuminuria (MA) in patients with type 2 diabetes. The NESTOR (Natrilix SR versus Enalapril Study... view more... (2004-07-21)
