Lead and Hypertension: Could a Chelator be the Antihypertensive of Choice
High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 09/18/09

The effects of chelators appear to be beyond merely decreasing blood lead level. Therefore, it seems an attractive approach to try chelators as the first step in managing hypertensive patients before starting a chronic course of conventional antihypertensives.
