Abstract
In their review of clinical practice guidelines on the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, Greenlees and Delles call for more explicit advice on the use of these drugs among women of childbearing potential, during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In response, the British and Irish Hypertension Society (BIHS) highlight the key issues for clinicians to consider when prescribing RAAS inhibitors to hypertensive women and suggest areas where further research is needed.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Human Hypertension is published monthly and is of interest to health care professionals who deal with hypertension (specialists, internists, primary care physicians) and public health workers. We believe that our patients benefit from robust scientific data that are based on well conducted clinical trials. We also believe that basic sciences are the foundations on which we build our knowledge of clinical conditions and their management. Towards this end, although we are primarily a clinical based journal, we also welcome suitable basic sciences studies that promote our understanding of human hypertension.
The journal aims to perform the dual role of increasing knowledge in the field of high blood pressure as well as improving the standard of care of patients. The editors will consider for publication all suitable papers dealing directly or indirectly with clinical aspects of hypertension, including but not limited to epidemiology, pathophysiology, therapeutics and basic sciences involving human subjects or tissues. We also consider papers from all specialties such as ophthalmology, cardiology, nephrology, obstetrics and stroke medicine that deal with the various aspects of hypertension and its complications.
