In older hypertensive patients, enalapril reduces orthostatic hypotension episodes compared to nifedipine, despite both agents being equipotent in lowering supine blood pressure.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Enalapril may be preferred to nifedipine in older hypertensives to reduce orthostatic SBP drops; extends RCT evidence on differential postural effects among agents.
Slavachevsky et al. (2000) studied this question.
