What are the effects of antihypertensives on parameters of the metabolic syndrome and glucose metabolism in patients with metabolic syndrome?
This review summarizes the effects of antihypertensive treatments on metabolic syndrome parameters and glucose metabolism.
Antihypertensive selection in metabolic syndrome warrants metabolic consideration; leaves open class-specific guidance from current evidence synthesis.
The prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus-in other words, the metabolic syndrome-is increasing in the United States. In this setting, it is important to understand the effects of antihypertensives on parameters of the metabolic syndrome in addition to glucose metabolism. Here the authors review pertinent clinical studies.
