Hypertension research program at ochsner: a program in translational research.
Year: 2002
Type: article
Abstract: For over 26 years, Ochsner has sponsored one of the world's most respected and productive hypertension basic and clinical investigative programs. This dedicated activity has developed a “cutting edge” clinical program that has been translated into national guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of hypertension. Indeed, we have been an official member of the Joint National Committee since 1970 — even before it was formally organized. The past 3 decades have encompassed an exciting era of clinical and basic science research progress in hypertension, during which the Ochsner program has contributed importantly to the field. We have hosted many national and international research activities, provided the editorial leadership for the American Heart Association's premier peer-reviewed scientific research journal Hypertension, contributed to the leadership of a large number of national and world governmental organizational advisory panels and societal bodies, provided specialized training to many American and foreign physicians and scientists, and served on the faculties of the Tulane and Louisiana State University medical schools, as well as shared our knowledge and contributions at most schools of medicine in the United States and other academic institutions throughout the world. In return, we have received high honors and recognition by many academic centers and organizations bringing much respect and kudos to the Ochsner Clinic Foundation. This report summarizes some of these achievements for our staff and friends.
