Why the study?
Do individual patients with essential hypertension show correlated blood pressure responses to atenolol, lisinopril, and nifedipine?
Do individual patients with essential hypertension show correlated blood pressure responses to atenolol, lisinopril, and nifedipine?
The low correlation in blood pressure reduction among different antihypertensive drug classes within individual patients suggests heterogeneous mechanisms of essential hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Individual BP responses vary widely across drug classes; challenges uniform class selection and extends evidence for mechanistic heterogeneity in hypertension.
Attwood et al. (1994) studied this question.
