Miall, William. MD (1917-1994)

William Miall was an international expert on blood pressure and hypertension and a pioneer CVD epidemiologist. The MRC trials in mild hypertension established clear reductions in heart attacks as well as larger reductions in strokes and formed the basis of the MRC’s general practice research framework of over 1000 practices throughout the United Kingdom.

Miall ended his career in retirement by writing a book, Mild Hypertension: Is There Pressure to Treat? (Cambridge University Press, 1987).
