For the record

The “Test yourself” item in last week's ACP InternistWeekly contained an error. The last sentence of the critique should have read “Thiazide-type diuretics should generally be used as initial therapy for most patients with hypertension, either alone or in combination with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, an angiotensin receptor blocker, a ß-blocker, or a calcium-channel blocker,” not “and angiotensin receptor blocker …”. The sentence has been corrected.
