概要

Dive into the first real medications used to treat dangerously high blood pressure. From muscle poisons and anti-malarials to a plant root used for centuries, we trace how hydralazine and reserpine emerged as early antihypertensive therapies. We also explore the landmark VA Cooperative Study, which proved that lowering blood pressure could prevent strokes, heart failure, and kidney damage—and began changing modern medicine.
