TL;DR: This open follow-up study aims to confirm the safety of long-term antihypertensive therapy based on a dihydropyridine and to lower the sitting systolic bp below 150 mm hg (target bp), the first-line agent nitrendipine may be associated with enalapril and other study drugs.

TL;DR: Hemodynamic observations suggest that the antihypertensive action of L is based mainly on its f-receptor blocking properties at RR, and on both its aand f- receptor blocking effects sitting and at exercise.

TL;DR: The reproducibility of the exponential method of CO2 rebreathing with the use of automated curve fitting was investigated and whether this method is superior to the equilibrium method in terms of reproducecibility and clinical practicability was determined.

TL;DR: The relationship between LVMI and the ACE D/I polymorphism differs across populations, possibly as a consequence of intermediate regulatory mechanisms responsive to varying levels of salt intake.

TL;DR: It is shown that significant BP reduction can be achieved and maintained in older Chinese patients treated with a calcium antagonist associated with a converting-enzyme inhibitor and a thiazide, as necessary, up to 3 years of follow-up.
