Arterial hypertension of the black subject: what is the profile of responses to inhibitors of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system?

Black subjects' hypertension (hypertension) is characterized by high blood pressure, more frequent heart and kidney complications, and ineffective system inhibitors (ACE inhibitors or ARAIIs) as monotherapy. The objective of this work was to evaluate the profile, characteristics of black hypertensive subjects balanced by monotherapy with ACE or ARB II 18 patients with hypertension out of 258 or 8% were balanced by monotherapy with ACE or ARB II. The average age was 38.5 years. The profiles found were; hypertension associated with obesity, sickle cell disease, keloids, polycystosis, and hydronephrosis. Black hypertensive subjects balanced by ACE or ARB II monotherapy are young subjects who often have secondary hypertension.
