Identifying treatment response to antihypertensives in patients with obesity-related hypertension.
BACKGROUND: In patients with obesity-related hypertension (ORH), reaction to antihypertensive medication is likely influenced by patientcharacteristics.
METHODS: Effects of aliskiren, moxonidine and hydrochlorothiazide on 24-h blood pressure (BP) were compared to placebo. Linear mixed effect models were used to analyze the effect of patient characteristics on BP levels and treatment response.
RESULTS: Systolic BP response to aliskiren was higher in patients with a BMI > 30.7 kg/m2 compared to patients with a BMI ≤ 30.7 kg/m2 (-21 mmHg versus -4 mmHg). In patients with a hsCRP > 1.8 mg/L the systolic BP response to aliskiren was higher than in patients with a low hsCRP (-15 mmHg versus -7 mmHg). Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) treatment effect on systolic BP was -13 mmHg when heart rate > 71 beats/min compared to -3 mmHg when heart rate was ≤ 71 beats/min.
CONCLUSION: In patients with ORH, BP response to aliskiren is positively related to BMI and hsCRP. Systolic BP response to HCTZ is positively related to heart rate and negatively to renin levels.
