Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing, 1999
Fifty million Americans suffer from hypertension. During the perioperative period, hypertension is a frequent finding owing to a variety of mechanisms including anxiety, pain, and preexisting conditions. This article explores the pharmaceutical agents commonly used in the treatment of hypertension. Particular attention is directed to drugs administered

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, 1981
Hypertension is a disease more common to advanced societies, possibly due to diet and life style. It is a disease that can be readily controlled, and active efforts to decrease blood pressure correlate with decreased incidence of cardiovascular disease.

Antihypertensive Agents 1962–1968
1969Seven years ago Schlittler, Druey, and Marxer [207] reported on antihypertensive agents in a previous volume of this series. Since this review appeared, research in the field of antihypertensive drugs has made steady progress. Although spectacular breakthroughs — exemplified by such pioneering feats as the discoveries of reserpine, hydralazine ...

Chapter 6 Antihypertensive Agents
1990Publisher Summary Cardiovascular disease accounts for more expenditures on health care than any other diagnostic category and hypertension is the most prevalent cardiovascular condition. While unit costs for hypertension treatment are low, aggregate costs are enormous because of the large and growing population of patients who are treated ...

Centrally Acting Antihypertensive Agents
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1988In spite of the fact that plasma catecholamine levels, baroreflex activity, and hemodynamic pattern significantly change with age and drugs whose action is mediated via the sympathetic nervous system might be expected to cause different effects, the limited available data suggest that both alpha-methyldopa and clonidine lower blood pressure to a ...

Nephroprotection by Antihypertensive Agents
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1994Arterial hypertension is one of the few factors confirmed to accelerate the development of renal failure. Conversely, several studies have documented that systematic reduction of the blood pressure slows the progression of renal failure. It is postulated that 24-h reduction of the blood pressure should be achieved, best controlled by ambulatory blood ...

New Antihypertensive Agents: Benefit of Treatment
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1992Large-scale end-point trials have demonstrated that antihypertensive treatment reverses the risk of stroke attributable to high blood pressure and probably reduces the incidence of myocardial infarction. Despite this major achievement in therapeutics, substantial goals still need to be achieved.

Postgraduate Medicine, 1983
Captopril (Capoten) and minoxidil (Loniten) have recently become generally available for treatment of hypertension, and calcium channel blockers, although not yet officially approved for this indication, clearly have potential as antihypertensive agents. Captopril, the only available inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme, is particularly effective
