1. Sodium balance and blood pressure response with calcium entry blockers

Author

London, Gerard M., Marchais, S.J., and Guerin, A.P.

Subjects
Hypertension -- Drug therapy, Calcium channel blockers -- Physiological aspects, Sodium metabolism -- Physiological aspects, Blood pressure, Diuretics -- Physiological aspects, Health
Abstract

Studies indicate that the antihypertensive effects of calcium entry blockers are enhanced in patients with significant salt and water retention, although the mechanism by which this occurs is not fully understood. The effects are especially pronounced before dialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease.

Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the major cause of death in the United States. Major modifiable risk factors for CHD are hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and cigarette smoking, with concomitant risk factors, especially left ventricular hypertrophy, that act synergistically to significantly increase overall risk. Antihypertensive therapy, while reducing the incidence of stroke, has not consistently reduced the incidence of CHD. This may be a result, in part, of adverse effects on the metabolic profile, especially on blood lipids, which are induced by diuretics and certain [beta]-blockers. Other antihypertensive agents appear to be either lipid neutral such as calcium channel blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, or lipid positive, such as selective [alpha.sub.1]-blockers. The choice of initial antihypertensive therapy should be made with all of a patient's risk factors in mind. In addition to the drugs recommended in the 1988 Guidelines of the Joint National Committee an Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure, selective [alpha.sub.1]-blockers should also be considered since they improve the lipid profile as well as reduce blood pressure., Despite a decline in its incidence in recent years, coronary heart disease (CHD) is still the major cause of death in the United States. Recent estimates show that 5.4 million [...]

Posicor (Medication) -- Physiological aspects, Hypertension -- Drug therapy, Drugs -- Physiological aspects, Calcium channel blockers -- Physiological aspects, Diuretics -- Physiological aspects, Adrenergic beta blockers -- Physiological aspects, ACE inhibitors -- Physiological aspects
Abstract

The withdrawal of the calcium channel blocker Posicor from the pharmaceutical market on June 8, 1998 due to dangers from drug interactions underscores the problem of not administering carefully to reduce hypertension. Physicians have reduced their use of thiazide diuretics over the last 15 years despite their initial effectiveness in treating high blood pressure. Further research has shown that beta-blockers do not prevent first heart attacks. The Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure recommends that diuretics be used in combination with other antihypertensive drugs., It's hard not to be perplexed about high blood pressure drugs. There are currently more than 50 antihypertensive agents on the market and more than 25 additional preparations that combine [...]
