Hypertension
JR is a 58-year-old man with a medical history of elevated low-density lipoprotein levels and coronary artery disease. He presents to his primary care physician for a follow-up appointment after his blood pressure was found to be 165/94 mm Hg at his annual physical exam. At today’s visit, JR’s BP is 166/93 mm Hg, resulting in a diagnosis of hypertension. JR is currently taking atorvastatin 40 mg daily and metoprolol tartrate 100 mg twice daily, and he reports no adverse effects from either medication. He has no other medical history, and his resting heart rate is 65 to 70 beats per minute. JR’s physician would like to start him on a new medication to help control his BP and calls the pharmacy for advice.
