Clinical perspective Outcome beyond blood pressure control?
The last two decades witnessed the publication of a large number of clinical outcome trials of blood pressure lowering agents in hypertensive patients or normotensive subjects with a high cardiovascular risk profile.

Arrhythmias are common problems in hypertensive patients. The presence and complexity of both supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias may influence morbidity, mortality, as well as the quality of life of patients. Diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle, left atrial size and function, and left ventricular hypertrophy have been suggested as the underlying risk factors for supraventricul...

Lifestyle changes have been shown to effect significant blood pressure (BP) reductions. Although there are several proposed neurohormonal links between weight loss and BP, body mass index itself appears to be the most powerful mediator of the weight-BP relationship.
