Rapid Decreases in Blood Pressure from Antihypertensive Treatment were Associated with Increased Cancer Mortality in the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program

Abstract: Background: Research on the association between antihypertensive drug treatment (HTDT) and cancer is equivocal. We tested the hypothesis that large, rapid decreases in blood pressure following HTDT are associated with higher cancer mortality.Methods: Data from the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program (SHEP) with 15-year cause-specific follow-up for mortality were used. We used changes from baseline in seated and standing systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurements at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the ini… Show more

“…This is an important distinction, because if hypertension improves treatment outcome, this may alter how hypertension is managed in patients treated with bevacizumab, particularly given the evidence for increased microvascular density and heightened risk of (any) cancer-related death following effective control of hypertension with antihypertensives. 76 , 77 Furthermore, discovery of how hypertension affects survival may identify patients who will most benefit from bevacizumab treatment, or pathways that could be targeted in combination with bevacizumab.…”
