[Efficacy of a graded plan for long-term prevention using antihypertensive drugs. Work Group for the Cooperative Study for the Testing of New Preparations for the Prevention of Arterial Hypertension (CSPPAH)].
Data on the efficiency of stepwise long-term preventive medication with antihypertensive agents are presented. The stepwise regimen of antihypertensive medication produced at least a short-term hypotensive effect (more than month) in 93.5% of patients within 1 year, with complete arterial BP normalization in 67.7% and partial effect in another 25.8%. Stable effect (more than 6 months) was however achieved in 1/5 of patients only. Side effects associated with this regimen were seen in 19.4% of patients. Since the effect persisted for more than 2 months in 52.6% of patients only, and was only stable (over 6 months) in one-fifth, follow-up examination of patients with arterial hypertension should be made at least once a month to allow assessment of the efficiency and safety of medication.
