Historical perspective of low- vs. high-dose diuretics.
Materson BJ. Materson BJ. J Am Soc Hypertens. 2007 Nov-Dec;1(6):373-80. doi: 10.1016/j.jash.2007.06.007. J Am Soc Hypertens. 2007. PMID: 20409870
Initially, high doses of diuretics were employed at least in part because of the misconception that substantial natriuresis was required for their antihypertensive effect. As the long-term vasodilating effects of the thiazides became appreciated, it was possible to separat …

Response to six classes of antihypertensive medications by body mass index in a randomized controlled trial.

Clinical presentation and management of patients with uncontrolled, severe hypertension: results from a public teaching hospital.
Preston RA, Baltodano NM, Cienki J, Materson BJ. Preston RA, et al. Among authors: materson bj. J Hum Hypertens. 1999 Apr;13(4):249-55. doi: 10.1038/sj.jhh.1000796. J Hum Hypertens. 1999. PMID: 10333343
Forty-two patients (46%) had the SBP reduced to less than 160 mm Hg, and 46 patients (50%) the DBP to less than 100 mm Hg. Long-term management and follow-up were suboptimal. Of 74 patients discharged from the emergency room, 22 patients (30%) returned because of uncontrol …

Lakshman MR, Reda DJ, Materson BJ, Cushman WC, Freis ED. Lakshman MR, et al. Among authors: materson bj. Arch Intern Med. 1999 Mar 22;159(6):551-8. doi: 10.1001/archinte.159.6.551. Arch Intern Med. 1999. PMID: 10090111 Clinical Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: None of these 6 antihypertensive drugs has any long-term adverse effects on PLPPs and, therefore, may be safely prescribed. Previously reported short-term adverse effects from using hydrochlorothiazide are limited to nonresponders....

Will angiotensin converting enzyme genotype, receptor mutation identification, and other miracles of molecular biology permit reduction of NNT?
Materson BJ. Materson BJ. Am J Hypertens. 1998 Aug;11(8 Pt 2):138S-142S. doi: 10.1016/s0895-7061(98)00105-8. Am J Hypertens. 1998. PMID: 9717855 Review.
Stage 1-2 hypertension has a low morbidity and mortality; short-term benefits of treatment are harder to document. Managed care organizations know that members have a high turnover rate, so they are less interested in costly mass treatment to prevent a few future events. . …
