ABSTRACT Pulse pressure (PP) is emerging as a major pressure predictor of cardiac disease. The study comprised 10 185 untreated patients with essential hypertension. A total of 5395 men and


4790 women 56±13 years old, with uncomplicated essential hypertension, after a 15-day washout period and after 6 months of antihypertensive monotherapy were included. All patients included


in the final cohort were responders and had normalized their blood pressure. PP was decreased least with diuretics (−5 mm Hg) and most with angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and


calcium antagonists (−15 mm Hg), followed by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) (−12 mm Hg) _α_- and _β_-blockers (−10 and −9 mm Hg), differentiating among antihypertensive


classes (_P_<0.001). The magnitude of PP fall was related to the degree of left ventricular (LV) mass reduction (_P_<0.001), seen best with ARBs (_r_=0.42) and least with ACEIs


(_r_=0.18). Of the antihypertensive medications used in everyday practice, PP decrease may be achieved best with ARBs and calcium antagonists, whereas diuretics confer poor response. PP was


decreased least with diuretics (−5 mm Hg) and most with ARBs and calcium channel blockers (−15 mm Hg), followed by ACEI (−12 mm Hg) _α_- and _β_-blockers (−10 and −9 mm Hg), differentiating


among antihypertensive classes (_P_<0.001). Of the antihypertensive medications used in everyday practice, PP decrease may be achieved best with ARBs and calcium antagonists. Access
