Does the response to antihypertensive treatments and prevalence of complications differ between African Americans and European Americans?

Population

African Americans and European Americans with hypertension in the U.S.

Intervention

Antihypertensive therapy (specifically beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors)

Comparator

Comparison between African American and European American patients

Outcome

Prevalence of complications (mortality from hypertensive heart disease, stroke, hypertensive renal disease) and response to antihypertensive treatment

The review argues against using racial profiling to restrict or defer the use of beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors in African Americans with hypertension, highlighting that socioeconomic factors often confound racial differences in outcomes.
