Freis, Edward David
▪ 2006

      American physician and medical researcher (b. May 13, 1912, Chicago, Ill.—d. Feb. 1, 2005, Washington, D.C.), successfully demonstrated the benefits of treating hypertension with drugs during a five-year study that he conducted with his colleagues during the 1960s. Freis also revealed the health risks associated with hypertension, such as heart attack and stroke, and disproved the established theory that high blood pressure was beneficial in circulating blood to the heart, brain, and other vital parts of the body. He received the Albert Lasker Award for Clinical Medical Research in 1971.
