Race has been considered an important factor in determining blood pressure response to treatment and selection of antihypertensive drug therapy. Data collected during a clinical trial that evaluated rapidity of medication up-titration with blood pressure response to monotherapy with the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor quinapril were used to characterize response in 533 black and 2...

Diet and the Blood Lipids

There is in general a fair agreement between workers as regards the lipid levels of the blood, but there are occasional groups of “normal” values for the lipids, both of whole blood and plasma, which are out of line, and even in a single series occasional widely discrepant values may be found. Inadequacy of methods, while undoubtedly responsible for some of the differences, does not account for...

Managing Abnormal Blood Lipids

Current data and guidelines recommend treating abnormal blood lipids (ABL) to goal. This is a complex process and requires involvement from various healthcare professionals with a wide range of expertise. The model of a multidisciplinary case management approach for patients with ABL is well documented and described. This collaborative approach encompasses primary and secondary prevention acros...
