Hypertension is the single most important preventable cause of premature death in the Western world. The quest to find the most effective treatment both in terms of blood pressure control and prevention of events, such as heart attacks and strokes, is on-going. The issue of which antihypertensive agent to use first-line has been the subject of debate for over two decades. The lack of a coherent…

After the initial investigations by Perloff et al.,1 our knowledge of the prognostic significance of ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) measurements has considerably increased. There is currently little doubt that 24-hour ABP is a better predictor of mortality and morbidity than conventional or office blood pressure (BP). This has been shown in the general population, in elderly, in treated and…

Hypertension is a chronic condition and a leading risk factor for the development of cardiovascular (CV) events, which are a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.1–4 CV events create a significant clinical management and economic burden, and are a major cause of hospitalisation and physician visits.5 The burden associated with CV events may be alleviated by treating hypertension,…

Myocardial infarction is often caused by the rupture of unstable plaque in atherosclerosis with mild-to-moderate stenosis. Research has revealed that local tissue inflammation is closely involved in the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque.1 Stabilization of atherosclerotic plaque by strictly managing the risk factors for coronary artery disease is a crucial strategy to prevent the recurrence of…

For these reasons, the prevention and treatment of…

Recent evidence supports a central role for calcium channel blockers (CCBs), and in particular the dihydropyridine (DHP) agents, in the treatment of hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We review here the findings of recent trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses that rebut those of the single, yet widely-publicised, earlier unfavourable meta-analysis.1 In these latest reports,…
