About this document
Antihypertensive Drugs and Carotid IMT by hakimabidhussain1959 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This meta-analysis reviews 22 randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effects of antihypertensive treatments on carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). The findings indicate that calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) significantly reduce carotid IMT compared to older antihypertensive agents, contributing to better stroke protection. The study highlights that the reduction in IMT is correlated with changes in lumen diameter rather than blood pressure differences.
