Article Synopsis
- Hypertension significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular issues, and many patients require antihypertensive medications, but some do not achieve normal blood pressure levels.
- A study focused on azilsartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker, compared its effectiveness in lowering blood pressure with other similar medications, involving 17 hypertensive patients who switched to azilsartan after not achieving desired results with previous treatments.
- Results showed significant reductions in blood pressure and serum noradrenaline levels over six months after switching to azilsartan, indicating its superior hypotensive effects and potential to improve health outcomes for patients on hemodialysis.
