Therapeutic Difference between Verapamil and Losartan to Control Blood Pressure and Renal Function in Patient Care as an Outpatient at the Health Center First Level of Complexity of Tudela (Cundinamarca, Colombia)

Objective: To compare the efficacy of Losartan and Verapamil for control of blood pressure and renal function. Method and Materials: We included 109 patients between men and women, and compared the period in which they were handled with verapamil (160 mg daily) (group A), and the time of the prescri...

Sumario: Objective: To compare the efficacy of Losartan and Verapamil for control of blood pressure and renal function. Method and Materials: We included 109 patients between men and women, and compared the period in which they were handled with verapamil (160 mg daily) (group A), and the time of the prescription of losartan (100 mg daily) (group B) to improve blood pressure control, only in the study included patients who met the eligibility criteria for improved clinical outcome with medication change. The mean age was 67 ± 11 years.Results: The variables were the systolic arterial pressures (SAP), diastolic (DAP) and the renal function. The initial SAP were 135, 8±19, 2 in group A and 102, 7±12, 7 in group B, the DAP were 85± 9, 3 (group A) and 71±8.57 (group B. The Medial Arterial Pressure was of 67 mm Hg (group A) and 60 mm Hg (group B). As it is seen pressure cause down more in group A than in group B, however it was significative. Similar results were obtained in the renal function with a creatinine clearance of 59.04 mL/min (group B) and of 54.75 mL/min (group A).Conclusion: The use of verapamil and losartan is considerably different as far as the effectiveness to reduce the pressures diastolic, systolic and mean. The losartan has major effectiveness on the diastolic pressure and the renal function.
