To study the Efficacy and Effects on Lipid Metabolism, anthropometry and blood pressure of Combination Treatment with ARB+HCTZ and ACEs+HCTZ in hypertensive patient
Abstract
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are widely prescribed for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure, as well as for kidney disease prevention in patients with diabetes mellitus and the management of patients after myocardial infarction. Both combination therapies of an Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) with the thiazide hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and an Angiotensin converting enzymes (ACEs) with HCTZ are recommended to achieve blood pressure (BP) goals in antihypertensive treatment. However, although HCTZ is known to have unfavorable effects on lipid metabolism, the effects of HCTZ in the ARB+HCTZ and ACEs+HCTZ combination on lipid metabolism have not been fully elucidated. The objective of present study was “To study the Efficacy and Effects on Lipid Metabolism, anthropometry and blood pressure of Combination Treatment With ARB+HCTZ and ACEs+HCTZ in hypertensive patient.”
All prescription of hypertensive patients coming to the medicine OPD and IPD would be screened and those prescribed with ACE-inhibitors+HCTZ and ARBs+HCTZ combination of drugs will be selected for this study.
