Pulse pressure and antihypertensive agents.
Pulse Pressure and Antihypertensive Agents To the Editor: In their subanalysis of the LIFE study,1 the authors conclude that they “show superior protection against stroke in patients treated with losartan when compared with atenolol . . . This difference may be related to specific effects of angiotensin type 1 receptor antagonism . . . beyond blood BP reduction.” The authors do not consider the...
متن کاملConventional antihypertensive drug therapy does not prevent the increase of pulse pressure with age.
Increased pulse pressure (PP), an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk, may be quantified on the basis of the prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) in the population at large. The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of ISH and its relation to age and drug therapy in a large group of outpatient hypertensive subjects in France. Between March and December 1999...
متن کاملAntihypertensive treatment alters the predictive strength of pulse pressure and other blood pressure measures.
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to assess whether antihypertensive treatment affects the predictive power of brachial pulse pressure. METHODS Data from the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Epidemiologic Follow Up Study were used to conduct Cox regression analyses. There were 487 cardiovascular disease (CVD) and 348 coronary heart disease (CHD) deaths during an...
متن کاملAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring in clinical trials with antihypertensive agents.
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is being used increasingly for the evaluation of antihypertensive agents in clinical trials. In this brief review several aspects of ABPM are discussed. In particular, attention is paid to the extent to which ABPM is subject to a placebo response and the extent to which the sample size of the study population can be reduced with this type of measureme...
متن کاملTiming of antihypertensive therapy and circadian blood pressure pattern.
Timing of Antihypertensive Therapy and Circadian Blood Pressure Pattern To the Editor: We read with great interest the recent article by de la Sierra et al1 about the prevalence and factors associated with circadian blood pressure patterns in a huge population of 42 947 hypertensive patients studied with 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Their cross-sectional study shows an associat...
