Hypertension with

In the treatment of hypertension, ACE inhibitors are as effective as diuretics, (3-adrenoceptor antagonists, or calcium channel blockers in lowering blood pressure. However, increased survival rates have only been demonstrated for diuretics and (3-adrenoceptor antagonists. ACE inhibitors are approved for monotherapy as well as for combinational regimes. ACE inhibitors are the dtugs of choice for the treatment of hypertension with renal diseases, particularly diabetic nephropathy, because they prevent the progression of renal failure and improve proteinuria more efficiently than the other diugs.

In instituting single-drug therapy (monotherapy), the following considerations apply 3-blockers (p. 92) are of value in the treatment of juvenile hypertension with tachycardia and high cardiac output however, in patients disposed to bronchospasm, even 3i-se-lective blockers are contraindicated.

Reduction of peripheral vascular resistance and cardiac afterload, probably because the enhanced loss of the sodium ions leads to a blunted vasoconstrictor response to endogenous catecholamines. This effect is relevant in the long-term treatment of essential hypertension with thiazide diuretics. 

Low-dose diuretics and /3-blockers, which have demonstrated positive effects on mortality, are indicated as first choice treatment. This is still maintained in the new recommendations for patients with uncomplicated hypertension (Table 5). However, other treatments are recommended for hypertensive patients with associated diseases (Table 6). Hypertension with diabetes or renal dysfunction must be treated with an ACE inhibitor in the first instance. Patients with myocardial infarction should be treated with /S-blockers and in specific cases with an ACE inhibitors. For patients with heart failure, the treatment of choice is an ACE inhibitor and diuretics. For older patients with isolated SBP, low-dose diuretics are recommended as the first step treatment and some of the CCB with long acting profile can be considered an alternative treatment. 

Deficiency of adrenal medullary catecholamines appears to give no ill effects, and replacement therapy is therefore not used, but adrenal medullary tumours, phaeochromocytomas, secrete excess catecholamines often causing hypertension with dramatic episodes of headache, palpitations, pallor, sweating and anxiety. This condition is normally treated surgically, but preoperative preparation is mandatory to avoid catastrophic effects of surges of catecholamine release. A combination of alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptor blockade is normally used, with drugs such as phenoxybenzamine or doxazosin as alpha-blockers, and propranolol as a non-selective beta-blocker. 

Sodium nitroprusside is used in the management of hypertensive crisis. Although it is effective in every form of hypertension because of its relatively favorable effect on cardiac performance, sodium nitroprusside has special importance in the treatment of severe hypertension with acute myocardial infarction or left ventricular failure. Because the drug reduces preload (by venodila-tion) and after load (by arteriolar dilation), it improves ventricular performance and in fact is sometimes used in patients with refractory heart failure, even in the absence of hypertension.

In Section 3.3.1 we defined the p-value and briefly mentioned a common incorrect definition. We will return now to discuss why this leads to considerable misinterpretation. In the example of Section 3.3.1 we had observed a treatment difference of 5.4 mmHg with a p-value of 4.2 per cent and the proposed definition (incorrect) was that there is a 4.2 per cent probability that pj = 2 -The problem with this definition is the misinterpretation when the p-value is large. As an extreme case suppose that we ran a trial in hypertension with two patients per group and also suppose that even though in truth the true treatment...

ACE). Hence, angiotensin II production is inhibited. Decrease in angiotensin II results in dilatation of peripheral vessels leading to a reduction in systemic vascular resistance and a decreased aldosterone secretion.

Centrally acting sympathoplegic drugs were once widely used in the treatment of hypertension. With the exception of clonidine, these drugs are rarely used today.
