Criteria for initiation of drug treatment now take into consideration total cardiovascular risk rather than blood pressure alone, such that treatment is now recommended for persons whose blood pressure is in the normal range but still bear a heavy burden of cardiovascular risk factors. Thus, the role of simultaneous reduction of multiple cardiovascular risk factors in improving prognosis in hypertensive patients is stressed. In addition, more aggressive blood pressure goals are recommended for hypertensive patients with comorbid conditions such as diabetes mellitus or renal insufficiency. [Pg.142]

Finally, drug treatment in the elderly is of great importance and warrants special attention with regard to safety and tolerability, since systolic blood pressure is recognized as an important target for treatment, particularly in older persons. The benefits of antihypertensive treatment in the elderly and in patients with isolated systolic hypertension are greater than in younger persons. [Pg.143]

Establishment of definable end-points for the investigation of specific differences between normal and abnormal responders poses another problem. Consider the evaluation of drug treatment of hypertension as a case in point. In this instance, the definitive end-point would be measured by the difference in the incidence of strokes and cardiovascular disease between normal and abnormal drug responders, but this would probably occur years after the trait is recognized and modifying treatment undertaken. Another example of pharmacogenetic interest... [Pg.5]

With these difficulties in mind, drug treatment programs do surprisingly well at keeping people on the road to recovery. The NIDA says the treatment of addiction is as successful in 2002 as the treatment of other chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma. [Pg.135]

There is evidence that a healthy diet, regular exercise and moderation of alcohol intake can reduce, delay or remove the need for long-term antihypertensive drug treatment (North of England Hypertension Guideline Development Group, 2006). [Pg.36]
