Antihypertensive agents

Journal of PeriAnesthesia Nursing, 1999
Fifty million Americans suffer from hypertension.

Nephroprotection by Antihypertensive Agents

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1994
Arterial 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 ...

Nitrendipine as an antihypertensive agent

European Heart Journal, 1987
A double-blind, stratified and randomized multicentre trial was carried out to compare the antihypertensive efficacy of nitrendipine with that of propranolol. The dose of nitrendipine was 5-20 mg b.d., and of propranolol, 40-120 mg b.d. With nitrendipine (N = 137), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) fell from 156 +/- 1 to ...

New Antihypertensive Agents: Benefit of Treatment

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1992
Large-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.

Antihypertensive Agents 1962–1968

1969
Seven 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 ...

Perioperative management of antihypertensive agents

Minerva Medica
A large proportion, possibly over half, of patients presenting for preoperative evaluation will be taking antihypertensive agents. The multiple classes of agents and their use in different combinations can make management decisions challenging. Poor blood pressure control and lack of evidence or conflicting evidence for certain agents can further ...
