چکیده

879 D la Chronique numéro 47, nous avons étudié les données scientifiques tirées de tous les essais contrôlés randomisés sur l’hypertension comparant les thiazidiqu de première intention avec les inhibiteurs de l’enzyme de conversion de l’angiotensine (IECA) et les inhibiteurs calciques (IC). Nous avons mis l’accent sur l’étude ALLHAT (traitement antihypertenseur et hypolipidémiant pour prévenir les infarctus) et sur la deuxième étude nationale australienne sur l’hypertension (ANBP2). Comme le titre le laisse entendre, nous avons conclu que les thiazidiques devraient être le médicament de premier choix pour tous les patients souffrant d’hyper tension. Les données scientifiques qui étayent cette conclusion sont les suivantes: • Les taux globaux de mortalité, de coronaropathies et d’insuffisance rénale en phase terminale sont semblables pour les thiazidiques, les IC et les IECA. • Les taux d’insuffisance cardiaque sont plus élevés pour les IC de première intention que pour les thiazidiques et les IECA. • Les taux d’accidents vasculaires cérébraux sont plus bas avec les thiazidiques de première intention qu’avec les IEAC. • Le contrôle de l’hypertension et la tolérance sont meilleurs avec les thiazidiques de première ligne qu’avec les IECA. • Le coût est substantiellement moins élevé pour les thiazidiques que pour les β-bloquants, les IECA, les IC, les α-bloquants ou les agents bloquants du récepteur de l’angiotensine.
