Introduction Current guidelines recommend thiazide/thiazide-type diuretics and dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers as first-line agents in treating African Americans with hypertension. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact that ambulatory care clinical pharmacy specialists (CPSs) had on initiation antihypertensives American population within an integrated healthcare system. Methods This retrospective, matched, observational cohort analysis included patients hypertension not...
