Polythiazide may normalize BP in community hypertension; leaves open confirmation of outcomes in randomized trials.
Does standardized drug treatment with polythiazide normalize blood pressure and physiological parameters in 55-year-old men with hypertension detected in a community setting?
Adequate reduction of blood pressure is readily achievable in a community setting with standard thiazide therapy, highlighting that detection and long-term adherence are the primary challenges in hypertension management.
