ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Azelnidipine, a selective calcium channel blocker, effectively lowers blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in hypertensive patients, as demonstrated in a retrospective real-world evidence (RWE) study in Indian patients. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
This was a retrospective cohort study that included 882 patients aged 18 years or older who had been on azelnidipine treatment for the last 3 months for mild to moderate hypertension (HTN). A structured proforma was utilized to gather data from prescribing physicians to assess the efficacy of azelnidipine (8 and 16 mg) as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive drugs. The primary endpoints of the study were to capture changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) from baseline to the subsequent visits (4 and 12 weeks), while the secondary endpoints were to measure similar changes in the diabetic group and to estimate the proportion of patients achieving target BP of <130/80 mm Hg and <140/90 mm Hg, respectively.RESULTS:
The overall mean reduction of systolic/diastolic BP from baseline to 12 weeks was 13.92/7.91 mm Hg (p-value < 0.0001). The mean reduction of systolic/diastolic BP from baseline to 12 weeks was 11.77/7.43 mm Hg (p-value < 0.0001) in newly diagnosed HTN patients, while in known cases of HTN, it was 16.50/8.48 mm Hg (p-value < 0.0001). In the diabetic group, the mean reduction was 15.35/8.69 mm Hg (p-value < 0.0001). Overall the study showed that in 44 (4.99%) and 408 (46.26%) patients, target BP of <130/80 mm Hg and <140/90 mm Hg, respectively was achieved. The mean change in HR from baseline was a reduction of 5.22 beats/minute.CONCLUSION:
Azelnidipine can be an effective antihypertensive drug to treat mild to moderate HTN in Indian patients.
