Neuromuscular diseases ... including muscular dystrophy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) ... are often debilitating and sometimes fatal.

And kidney specialist Dr. William Haley discusses a landmark study that showed a significant reduction in the risk of cardiovascular complications and death when systolic blood pressure is lowered to 120 mm Hg in people being treated for high blood pressure.
