Article Synopsis
- The study examines changes in patients presenting with nontraumatic chest pain at a hospital's chest pain unit over a decade, noting a significant increase in visits, especially during weekdays and working hours.
- Over the 10-year period, there was a notable rise in the number of women and younger patients, alongside a decrease in cardiovascular risk factors and history of ischemic heart disease among patients.
- The rates of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) ruling out improved over time, but the time to final diagnosis increased, particularly for those ultimately diagnosed with ACS.
Background: More than 60% of patients with hypertension included in morbidity and mortality trials needed >or=2 drugs to achieve a substantial, sustained reduction in blood pressure. Tolerable combinations using higher doses of antihypertensive drugs are frequently required to control blood pressure.
Objective: The goal of this study was to assess the effect of a once-daily fixed combination of irbesartan 300 mg/hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 25 mg on the circadian blood pressure profile in patients with essential hypertension that was not controlled with full-dose single therapy or low-dose combined therapy.
