The researchers recorded both blood pressure variation as well as the blood pressure medication used by each participant.
Dr. Clyde Yancy, chief of cardiology in the department of medicine at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, said the findings of the study may reflect an “absence” of medication’s efficacy rather than “a true signal of harm.”
“It is very difficult to account for all of the many variables at play in these data, and other explanations may still be pertinent to explain harm,” he said, speaking on behalf of the American Heart Association.
That is, alpha-blockers and alpha-2 agonists aren’t necessarily dangerous, but less effective compared to other high blood pressure medications.
