Different associations between beta-blockers and other antihypertensive medication combinations with brachial blood pressure and aortic waveform parameters

摘要

Background: Comparing the relationships of antihypertensive medications with brachial blood pressure (BP) and aortic waveform parameters may help clinicians to predict the effect on the latter in brachial BP-based antihypertensive therapy. We aimed to make such comparisons with new waveform measures and a wider range of antihypertensive regimens than examined previously.
