Effects of Various Antihypertensive Drugs on Arterial Stiffness and Wave Reflections
We reviewed trials that tested the efficacy of antihypertensive drugs in reducing arterial stiffness and wave reflections as assessed by pulse wave velocity and augmentation index, respectively. Regardless of cross-over or parallel-group comparison design, placebo-controlled trials demonstrated that antihypertensive drugs were effective in reducing pulse wave velocity. In actively-controlled pa...
متن کاملAssociation between serum homocysteine and arterial stiffness: role of antihypertensive drugs
I read the article of Zhang, et al. with great interest. They investigated the association of homocysteine with arterial stiffness in Chinese community-based elderly persons. The carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) was significantly higher in the high homocyteine group than in the normal one, however, there was no differences in carotid-radial PWV between the high homocyteine group and th...
متن کاملCritical appraisal of the differential effects of antihypertensive agents on arterial stiffness
Increased central arterial stiffness, involving accelerated vascular ageing of the aorta, is a powerful and independent risk factor for early mortality and provides prognostic information above and beyond traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Central arterial stiffness is an important determinant of pulse pressure; therefore, any pathological increase may result in left ven...

Arterial pressure responses to discontinuing antihypertensive drugs.
rose promptly and treatment was restarted within a month. Among essential hypertensive patients, those who remained off treatment for 2 to 6 months had significantly lower pretreatment pressure than those whose hypertension returned in less than 2 months. The two whose diastolic hypertension seemed "cured" had no distinguishing features. These results suggest that most hypertensive patients req...
