Abstract excerpt
AIM: Hydralazine, a vasodilator used in resistant hypertension (RH) treatment is metabolized by an acetylation reaction mediated by N-acetyltransferase 2, the activity of which depends on NAT2 polymorphisms. Our aim was to evaluate whether different acetylation phenotypes influenced the antihypertensive effect of hydralazine in patients with RH. PATIENTS & METHODS: DNA samples from 169 RH patients using...
