'Less is more' when it comes to treating high blood pressure
A newly published study found patients actually have more control of their high blood pressure (hypertension) when treated with less medication. view more (2009-03-20)
Intensive management can improve blood pressure in non-adherent hypertensive patients
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have shown that patients with uncontrolled hypertension respond to treatment intensification regardless of their degree of adherence to antihypertensive medications. view more (2009-07-08)
Researchers may have found why women have an edge on salt-sensitive hypertension

Patients resistant to blood pressure treatment do take their drugs
Poor compliance with treatment is believed to be the most frequent reason why many patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) do not respond to drug treatment. However, a study in this week's BMJ finds no difference in compliance between treatment resistant and treatment responsive patients. Researchers at the University Hospital in Basle,... view more...
