  • Title: [Treatment of hypertension with dyslipidemia].
    Author: Ashida T.
    Journal: Nihon Rinsho; 2001 May; 59(5):978-82. PubMed ID: 11392002.
    Abstract:
    Lifestyle modifications are the first approach to the treatment of dyslipidemia and hypertension, that is, control of overweight; reduced intake of saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium chloride, and alcohol; and increased physical activity. In high doses, thiazide diuretics and loop diuretics can induce at least short-term increases in levels of total plasma cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Low-dose thiazide diuretics do not produce these effects. beta-blockers may increase levels of plasma triglycerides transiently and reduce levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. alpha-blockers may decrease serum cholesterol concentration to a modest degree and increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, calcium antagonists, and central adrenergic agonists have clinically neutral effects on levels of serum lipids and lipoproteins.
