Results
are in: ALLHATs off to the golden oldie--diuretics!
The Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart
Attack Trial (ALLHAT) is one of the most important trials of
antihypertensive therapy. After
following the patients for around 5 years, the researchers found that the
diuretic was just as effective in preventing the primary end point (the
incidence of fatal coronary heart disease (CHD) or nonfatal heart attack) as
the other drugs. But in the prevention of secondary outcomes (all-cause
mortality, stroke, combined CHD or combined cardiovascular disease), better
results and a lower cost gave the diuretic the edge over its counterparts.
