Journal ArticleDOI
Review of the major hypertension trials in the elderly.
TL;DR: The different intervention trials in elderly hypertensives are compatible with the hypothesis that hypotensive drug treatment can decrease cardiovascular mortality mainly by decreasing cerebrovascular mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of isolated systolic hypertension in the elderly.
TL;DR: The ongoing intervention studies that have been designed to examine the hypothesis that antihypertensive treatment confers a benefit to elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension in terms of a reduced morbidity and mortality are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefits and safety of long-acting calcium antagonists in coronary artery disease: the Action Trial.
TL;DR: The primary efficacy outcome, which included all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, refractory angina, new overt heart failure, debilitating stroke and peripheral revascularization, was not significantly different between the two groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urapidil-induced hemodynamic changes in humans
TL;DR: In patients with essential hypertension forearm, renal and splanchnic flow were shown to increase and vascular resistance to decrease significantly after acute intravenous doses of urapidil, except for systemic vascular resistance which remains decreased.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An operational threshold for making clinical decisions based on ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) measurement is delineated by studying the ABP in subjects who were diagnosed as either normotensive or hypertensive by conventional blood pressure measurement.
