Abstract
|
|
|
|
Eleven adult patients with essential hypertension were treated for 4 1/4 years in a special community hypertension clinic using effective and inexpensive antihypertensive drugs (hydrochlorothiazide, reserpine). The mean pretreatment baseline blood pressure was 195/113㎜Hg. The mean blood pressure at the end of the trial was 125/86㎜Hg. This represents a mean decrease in blood pressure of -70/-27㎜Hg. Serum potassium concentration was maintained greater than 3.5mEq/L in all patients without the use of potassium supplementation. Proper diagnosis, assessment, and initial treatment was provided by physicians. Convenient, inexpensive, efficient and efficacious follow-up and treatment·and continuing patient education was provided by a specially trained clinical pharmacist. This approach to the treatment of the hypertensive patient has, in our opinion, maximized the efficient use of physcian time, demonstrated efficient use of para-medical personnel, and successfully treated the hypertension.
