Is [ CCB uptitration superior to ARB uptitration in CKD patients who do not reach target blood pressure with ARB/CCB combined therapy ]?
In hypertensive patients with CKD who do not achieve their target BP with ARB/CCB combined therapy, a dose increase of CCB would be preferable to that of ARB from the viewpoint of strict control of BP and renal protection.
We conclude that exercise-induced changes in MR images are influenced not only by workload and exercise duration but also by the type of exercise, and we postulate that these differences result from the different physiological responses elicited by the different types of exercise.
