Key result
Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance are associated with hypertension, though it remains unclear if the relationship is causal; treatment should focus on weight reduction and appropriate antihypertensives.
Why the study?
What is the relationship between hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and hypertension, and how should it be managed?
What is the relationship between hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and hypertension, and how should it be managed?
This review highlights the complex association between hyperinsulinemia and hypertension, recommending lifestyle modifications and specific antihypertensive classes (ACEi, CCBs) for management.

Association does not establish causality; leaves open whether targeting insulin resistance improves hypertension outcomes.
Gerd Bönner (1994) conducted a review in Hyperinsulinemia, Insulin Resistance, and Hypertension. Hyperinsulinemia and Insulin Resistance was evaluated. Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance are associated with hypertension, though it remains unclear if the relationship is causal; treatment should focus on weight reduction and appropriate antihypertensives.
