Abstract
The family histories of Johns Hopkins medical students were studied in detail and independent evaluations were made of the prevalences of hypertension and of Coronary heart disease among the students' parents and grandparents. The hereditary factors in hypertension and coronary heart disease were studied and some interesting patterns of differences in sex inheritance became apparent that need further investigation.Keywords
