(2) Improvement in adherence to medications as all the patients in the trials was monitored using medication adherence tools such as witnessed medication intake, maintenance of diary, assessment of plasma drug concentration, etc. and (3) Recruiting patients who weren’t maximized on medical therapy...
Although great progress has been made in PAH drug therapy in recent years, the long-term prognosis of patients is still unsatisfactory. For PAH, a disease with multiple pathogenic pathways, combined therapy is theoretically more effective than monotherapy.[75] Combined therapy with PAH-targeted drug...
Three classes were used to evaluate treatment effects, including significant effective, effective, and ineffective according to BP and TCM-SSD. 4 Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Study ID Sample Guo et al. 2002 [14] 129 Mao 2005 [15] 70 Luo 2008 [16] 45 Liu and Zhong ...

Beta blockers are no longer recommended to be used as single drug control of hypertension. How is diastolic hypertension treated? Isolated diastolic hypertension occurs when the systolic blood pressure reading is normal (120mm Hg or less), but the diastolic reading is greater than 80 mmHg. In ...
[105]. Pill burden, drug interactions and adverse effects are also important. Antihypertensive regimens should therefore be simplified wherever possible, with consideration given to the quantity, timing and formulation of interventions. Continuity of care may also have an impact and, where possible, ...
The Diag+Med hypertension algorithm was applied to both validation cohorts (Figure A1), and the results were validated via chart review. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for the two validation cohorts. The overall performan...
In trying to understand the comparatively large reduction in BP in the sham control group in the current study, we wondered whether patient selection might have contributed to this. It is possible that a significant number of unstable patients with uncontrolled hypertension and poor drug adherence we...
