The Pharmacogenomic and Metabolomic Predictors of ACE Inhibitor and Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker Effectiveness and Safety.

Hypertension (HTN) is the most common chronic disease in the USA. Hypertensive patients frequently require repeat primary care visits to find an effective drug or drug combination to control their disease. Currently, patients are prescribed drugs for HTN based on race, age, and comorbidities and although the current guidelines are reasonable starting points for prescribing, 50% of hypertensive patients still fail to achieve target blood pressures. Despite numerous strategies to improve compliance, drug effectiveness, and optimization of initial drug choice, effectiveness has remained largely unchanged over the past two decades. Therefore, it is important to pursue alternative strategies to more effectively treat patients and to decrease medical costs. Additional precision medicine work is needed to identify factors associated with effectiveness of commonly used antihypertensive medications. The objective of this manuscript is to present a comprehensive review of the pharmacogenomic and metabolomic factors associated with ACEI and ARB effectiveness and safety.
