Risk of congestive heart failure in an elderly population treated with peripheral alpha-1 antagonists

Article Abstract:

The risk of congestive heart failure (CHF) in elderly individuals treated with any peripheral alpha-1 antagonist for hypertension with any thiazide are compared to test whether the risk persists in subjects without cardiovascular disease (CVD) at baseline. The CHF risk in normotensive men without prostatism treated with alpha antagonists are also examined.
