May inform early CCB titration in hypertension; leaves open impact of waning responsiveness on long-term control.
What are the hemodynamic mechanisms and effects of calcium channel blockers in patients with essential hypertension?
Calcium channel blockers lower blood pressure in essential hypertension primarily through arteriolar vasodilation, with responsiveness varying by disease stage and prior treatment.
