Effects of antihypertensives with and without IL-6 lowering properties on long-term blood pressure control: The prospective HELIUS cohort
Amlodipine and barnidipine were associated with better BP control compared to other CCBs. Our findings provide an important starting point for understanding the role of IL-6 in hypertension management. Further studies are warranted to confirm these observations by directly measuring IL-6 levels and investigating underlying mechanisms.
