William is a 78-year old who takes two aspirin every morning while he reads his
newspaper to treat arthritis pain in his back. He states the aspirin helps him to "get
moving" each day. Lately he has had some heartburn from the aspirin. After you rule out
an acute GI bleed, what would be an appropriate course of treatment for William?

Because primary hypertension has no identifiable cause, treatment is based on
interfering with the physiological mechanisms that regulate blood pressure. Thiazide
diuretics treat hypertension because they:

Calcium channel blockers are used as medications and primarily have four effects:

by acting on vascular smooth muscle they reduce contraction in arteries and
causes an increase in arterial diameter a phenomenon called vasodilatations.
Calcium channel blockers do not work on venous smooth muscle.
by acting on cardiac muscles or the myocardium they reduce the force of the
contraction of the heart.
by slowing down the conduction of electrical activity within the heart they
slow down the heart rate.
by blocking calcium signal on adrenal cortex cells, they reduce aldosterone
production which collaborates to lower blood pressure.
