Differential blood pressure reductions by angiotensin receptor blocker plus calcium channel blocker or diuretic in elderly hypertension with or without obesity
چکیده انگلیسی

We conducted the Miyazaki Olmesartan Therapy for Hypertension in the EldeRly (MOTHER) study, which suggested that there are preferable effects of an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), olmesartan, plus a calcium channel blocker (CCB) over the ARB plus a diuretic, in elderly patients with hypertension. In this subanalysis, we examined whether obesity influences the efficacies of these combination therapies. The study subjects were 58 hypertensive patients ages 65 to 85, who had been randomly assigned to either group treated with olmesartan plus a CCB or a diuretic and completed the treatment for 6 months. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were reduced following these combination treatments in nonobese and obese patients. In the CCB combination, blood pressure reductions in nonobese patients were larger than in obese patients at 1 and 3 months, and serum creatinine remained unchanged despite the greater reduction of blood pressure. Meanwhile, such differences were not noted in the diuretic groups. Plasma aldosterone was significantly reduced in nonobese patients of two combination groups, but not in those with obesity. ARB plus CCB combination therapy might be preferably chosen for nonobese elderly patients, whereas the influence of obesity seems smaller in the efficacy of ARB plus a diuretic.
