Non-potassium sparing diuretics and sudden cardiac death in hypertensive patients : a pharmacoepidemiologic approach
Year: 1992
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The studies described in this thesis focus on the possible relationship between the use \nof non-potassium sparing diuretics and the occurrence of sudden cardiac death in \nhypertensive patients. To study this potential adverse drug reaction several methods were \napplied, including estimates of population attributable proportions, a meta-analysis and, \nmost importantly, a case-referent (case-control) study. In this chapter the main \nconclusions, their possible implications and suggestions for future research will be given
