Treatment of hypertension in middle-aged men. A feasibility study in a community.

Abstract

In a health examination survey of 2322 middle-aged men the prevalence of hypertension, defined as supine DBP greater than or equal to 105 mmHg and including those on treatment, was 7.5%. All untreated and those inadequately treated were invited to a hypertension clinic. One year's treatment in 86 men achieved a BP reduction of 29/17 mmHg in supine and 27/16 mmHg in erect position. This reduction was maintained for a three-year period and considered satisfactory in 80% of subjects. Propranolol, alone or in combination with other agents, was used in more than 80% of the cases. Special considerations in treating asymptomatic individuals are discussed.
