Abstract
Objectives: There is an inter-individual in the valsartan response among hypertensive patients. However, clinical factors associated with this variation in the response is still not fully understood. The major purpose of this study is to predict the factors associated with valsartan response and their influence on decreasing blood pressure among patients.
Methods: This study is a cross-sectional observational study. It included 91 hypertensive patients on valsartan treatment, selected through simple random sampling from the Jordan University Hospital. The clinical data was collected through documented medical records in the hospital's computerized system. The data was analyzed using the chi-square test to compare frequencies and categories.
Results: Patients were divided into systolic and diastolic responders. No statistical significance was found between systolic response to valsartan's and gender, smoking, age, BMI, lipid profile and HbA1c status. Diastolic responders had a positive significance of p value = 0.006 with BMI categories, however there was no significance with any other factor.
Conclusions: There was a better diastolic response to valsartan among hypertensive patients with lower BMI levels. BMI can be considered as a factor to personalize the therapy among patients on valsartan. However, further clinical studies with larger sample size are needed to confirm these data.
