Rates for the incidence of end stage renal disease have increased for which hypertension is the second most common cause. It has also been stated that hypertension control rates have not continued to improve (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, NHANES III, Phase 1) from 1991 to 1994. These disturbing trends support the need to enhance public and professional education and to translate the results of research into improved health. 

L A man aged 74 has moderate hypertension controlled with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg once daily and losartan 50 mg once daily. He is prescribed ro-fecoxib 50 mg once daily to control osteoarthritis pain. After 3 months of this therapy, his blood pressure begins to rise. This increase in blood pressure is most likely due to...

Never forget that you are in partnership with your physician, that you have a say in the decision-making process, and that ultimately you will play a major role in your own health destiny. It is ironic that people will be more selective in choosing an auto mechanic than a physician You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to find a doctor with whom you can establish an excellent personal relationship. Does your doctor fully answer your questions, consider your special needs and problems, and leave you with a sense of confidence If not, find another doctor If you have hypertension, controlling that condition will be a lifelong endeavor. And if you require antihypertensive drugs, a great deal of effort will... 

All NSAIDs interfere with hypertension control in patients taking diuretics, beta-blockers, or vasodilators, although contrasting data have been published on the effects of these drugs on blood pressure (233). Moreover, they interact diversely with different...

The effects of sibutramine on weight loss, blood pressure, and pulse rate in hypertensive obese patients, whose blood pressure was well controlled with a beta-blocker either alone or with a thiazide diuretic, have been evaluated in a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, randomized study in 69 patients (17). Sibutramine was effective and well tolerated and did not exacerbate pre-existing hypertension controlled with beta-blockers. Despite the presence of apparently effective beta-blockade, there were modest increases in pulse rate in those who took sibutramine, suggesting that mechanisms other than increased sympathetic tone may, at least in part, mediate this effect. Based on the potential for increased blood pressure and pulse rate, obese patients with well-controlled hypertension who are taking sibutramine should be monitored periodically (17).

Venlafaxine is often used in high doses in patients with treatment-resistant depression. If there is continuing failure to respond, electroconvulsive therapy might be used, often in combination with venlafaxine. A 73-year-old woman taking venlafaxine (112.5 mg/day) had sustained hypertension for several hours after her first treatment (9). However, electroconvulsive therapy can cause transient hypertension, and the patient had essential hypertension controlled by bendroflumethiazide. It is therefore possible...

A 55-year-old man was found unconscious by his wife in the greenhouse behind their home. During the past week, he had been complaining of abdominal discomfort and frequent stools. His medical history was restricted to mild hypertension controlled by salt restriction (about 5 years) and type 2 diabetes controlled by diet (about 10 years). He had no history of mental illness or of alcohol or tobacco use, and he was not taking any medication. His last trip outside the country had been to Mexico 5 years earlier. He and his wife operated a small flower shop, and he was an enthusiastic home gardener.

Retrospective analysis of a large multinational study in patients given terazosin 5 or 10 mg daily found that terazosin only affected the blood pressure of patients taking beta blockers (atenolol, labetalol, metoprolol, sotalol, and timolol) if the blood pressure was uncontrolled. No change in blood pressure was seen in those with normal blood pressure (i.e. those without hypertension and those with hypertension controlled by beta blockers). The most common adverse effect in the 10-week terazosin phase was dizziness, and the incidence of this appeared to be lower in those taking antihypertensives (13 to 16%) than those not (21 to 25%)."...
