Long-term chlorothiazide therapy moderately reduces blood pressure in 66% of hypertensive patients by decreasing total peripheral resistance rather than cardiac output.
Does long-term therapy with chlorothiazide reduce blood pressure and alter hemodynamics in patients with hypertension?
Long-term chlorothiazide therapy lowers blood pressure in hypertensive patients primarily by reducing total peripheral resistance.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Long-term treatment of hypertension with chlorothiazide alone produces mioderate reduction in blood pressure in 66 per cent of patients with hypertension. This fall in pressure is due to a reduction in total peripheral resistance rather than a fall in cardiac output.
Conway et al. (Fri,) reported a other. Long-term chlorothiazide therapy moderately reduces blood pressure in 66% of hypertensive patients by decreasing total peripheral resistance rather than cardiac output.
