Sustained DBP reductions with special intervention support intensive risk-factor programs in high-risk men; extends evidence for multifactorial prevention in RCTs.
Does a special intervention to lower cardiovascular risk factors reduce mortality rate from coronary heart disease in high-risk men aged 35 to 57 years?
