Background: Interindividual variability in blood pressure (BP) response to antihypertensives has been reported. Although plasma renin activity (PRA) is a potential biomarker for personalizing antihypertensive therapy in European American (EA) and African American (AA) hypertensives, clinical utility of PRA-guided prescribing is incompletely understood.
Methods: Using systematic-phased approach, PRA's clinical utility was assessed.

Objective: This review covers the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic of β-blockers, the rationale for their use, some recent controversies in its use for managing hypertension, as well as, the beneficial properties of the third-generation β-blockers beyond hypertension.
Background: The efficacy and safety of β-blockers in the treatment of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases have been established during more than 50 years of clinical experience. Recent updates of clinical guidelines have downgraded the use of β-blockers for the treatment of uncomplicated hypertension to second and third line therapy.

The development of poorly water-soluble drugs faces the risk of low bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. The co-amorphous drug delivery system has recently gained considerable interest because it offers an alternative approach to modify properties of poorly water-soluble drugs. Herein, we developed a co-amorphous system of atenolol (ATE) and poorly water-soluble hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) by means of cryogenic milling.

Aims: Beta-blockers vary in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic properties. It is unknown whether specific types are associated with increased perioperative risks. We evaluated perioperative risks associated with beta-blocker subtypes, overall and in patient subgroups.

Achieving hypertension (HTN) control and mitigating the adverse health effects associated with HTN continues to be a global challenge. Some individuals respond poorly to current HTN therapies, and mechanisms for response variation remain poorly understood. We used a nontargeted metabolomics approach (gas chromatography time-of-flight/mass spectrometry gas chromatography time-of-flight/mass spectrometry) measuring 489 metabolites to characterize metabolite signatures associated with treatment response to anti-HTN drugs, atenolol (ATEN), and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), in white and black participants with uncomplicated HTN enrolled in the Pharmacogenomic Evaluation of Antihypertensive Responses study.
