Abstract
Editor's note
In the April 2000 issue, Dr. Franz Messerli published an article entitled “Antihypertensive therapy: beta-blockers and diuretics—why do physicians not always follow guidelines?” BUMC Proceedings published commentaries to this article by Dr. Marvin Moser of Yale University School of Medicine and Dr. Norman Kaplan of The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Here, Dr. Messerli responds to those commentaries.
