Dual Therapy in Hypertensive Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: The Role of Calcium Channel Blockers and β-Blockers

Dual Therapy in Hypertensive Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: The Role of Calcium Channel... Background: The majority of hypertensive patients require combination therapy to achieve BP goals. Guidelines recommend dual therapy in newly diagnosed patients with BP > 160/100mm Hg. Calcium channel blocker (CCB)/ACE inhibitor and β-blocker (β-adrenoceptor antagonists)/diuretic combinations are among regimens considered effective for BP control.

Abstract

Background: The majority of hypertensive patients require combination therapy to achieve BP goals. Guidelines recommend dual therapy in newly diagnosed patients with BP > 160/100mm Hg. Calcium channel blocker (CCB)/ACE inhibitor and β-blocker (β-adrenoceptor antagonists)/diuretic combinations are among regimens considered effective for BP control. ACE inhibitors, β-blockers, and CCBs arc recommended for use in patients after myocardial infarction (MI). Statistical modeling from INVEST (INternational VErapamil-Trandolapril STudy), suggests an association between dual and triple therapy and decreased risk of primary outcome ([PO] first occurrence of death, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke) in patients with hypertension and coronary artery disease (CAD).
