Does antihypertensive treatment intensification without signs of end-organ damage improve outcomes in adult medical inpatients with noncardiac admissions?
Intensification of antihypertensive therapy in medical inpatients without signs of end-organ damage is associated with worse clinical outcomes.
In this cohort study, hypertension was common among medical inpatients, but antihypertensive treatment intensification was not. Intensification of therapy without signs of end-organ damage was associated with worse outcomes.
Rastogi et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
