Inherent inaccuracies and potential utility of race/ethnicity labeling in the treatment of hypertension
Journal of the American Society of Hypertension, 10/15/09
Materson BJ et al. – Individuals from populations who consume high levels of sodium and lower levels of potassium may respond better to diuretics and calcium antagonists. Other populations may be more susceptible to angioedema or cough related to the use of angiotensin–converting enzyme inhibitors. Such information may be useful for the selection or avoidance of certain medications. No patient should ever be denied indicated treatment with a drug or drug class because of race or ethnicity.
