Enalapril Folic Acid Tablets Combined With CCB or Diuretic to Prevent Stroke in Patients With Type H Hypertension

Hypertension is a common condition that can cause serious events such as stroke, coronary heart disease and heart failure. Homocysteine (Hcy) is a substance in the body that is harmful to blood vessels. Hyperhomocysteinemia (plasma Hcy≥10 mol/L), which is associated with hypertension, significantly increases the risk of stroke. This type of high blood pressure is called type "H" hypertension. Enalapril folic acid tablet is an innovative drug developed independently in China and is the first choice for the treatment of H type hypertension. Patients with type H hypertension should be treated with enalapril folic acid tablets to reduce stroke.

However, some patients had poor blood pressure control after monotherapy. At this time, other antihypertensive drugs should be used in combination. Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide are the most commonly used and the best combination.

The purpose of this study was to observe the difference in the efficacy of enalapril folic acid tablets in patients with uncontrolled blood pressure who were well tolerated and randomized to aminoclodipine or hydrochlorothiazide in reducing stroke and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, and to explore the relationship between various alternative measures and efficacy.
