Description: Segment 1 Gilliland introduces Lever. Lever shows a graph showing blood pressure results of the normal population. Time start: 00:00:00:00 Time end: 00:05:06:00 Length: 00:05:06:00 Segment 2 Lever talks through a table listing the risk factors for developing hypertension. A graph is shown which details how treatment for high blood pressure reduces the risk of medical complications. Lever discusses epidemiological studies of hypertension and their findings. Time start: 00:05:06:00 Time end: 00:12:29:00 Length: 00:07:23:00 Segment 3 Lever discusses what should be looked for when examining a patient with potential hypertension. Slides of a woman with Cushing's syndrome are shown. Time start: 00:12:29:00 Time end: 00:17:25:00 Length: 00:04:56:00 Segment 4 Lever discusses what to expect at the end of a first visit of a hypertensive patient to a clinic and how to proceed according to the findings. A table is shown which lists investigations to be made on a patient with confirmed hypertension. An intravenous pyelogram of a patient with severe hypertension is shown. Time start: 00:17:25:00 Time end: 00:23:34:00 Length: 00:06:09:00 Segment 6 Lever shows a table listing treatment options for primary, then secondary, hyperaldosteronism. A case study is given of a man with severe secondary hyperaldosteronism. Time start: 00:31:37:00 Time end: 00:37:30:00 Length: 00:05:53:00. Segment 7 Lever shows a chart in which diagrammatic comparisons between primary and secondary hyperaldosteronism are given. A table is shown in which different drug treatments for hypertension are given. A final table is shown which details the main points made in the lecture. Time start: 00:37:30:00 Time end: 00:43:55:06 Length: 00:06:25:06

Further information: This video is one of more than 120 titles, originally broadcast on Channel 7 of the ILEA closed-circuit television network, given to Wellcome Trust from the University of London Audio-Visual Centre shortly after it closed in the late 1980s. Although some of these programmes might now seem rather out-dated, they probably represent the largest and most diversified body of medical video produced in any British university at this time, and give a comprehensive and fascinating view of the state of medical and surgical research and practice in the 1970s and 1980s, thus constituting a contemporary medical-historical archive of great interest. The lectures mostly take place in a small and intimate studio setting and are often face-to-face. The lecturers use a wide variety of resources to illustrate their points, including film clips, slides, graphs, animated diagrams, charts and tables as well as 3-dimensional models and display boards with movable pieces. Some of the lecturers are telegenic while some are clearly less comfortable about being recorded all are experts in their field and show great enthusiasm to share both the latest research and the historical context of their specialist areas.
