Outcomes with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors vs other antihypertensive agents in hypertensive blacks.
The study’s objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors when compared with other antihypertensive agents in hypertensive blacks. It found that in a large cohort of hypertensive blacks, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors were associated with less benefit when compared with calcium channel blockers or thiazide diuretics.

Racial/ethnic differences in hypertension prevalence, treatment, and control for outpatients in Northern California 2010-2012.
The purpose of this paper is to study the prevalence, treatment, and control of hypertension among rapidly--growing minority groups. The authors found substantial racial/ethnic variation in hypertension prevalence, treatment, and control in the study population in northern California. Filipino and non-Hispanic black women and men are at especially high risk for hypertension and may have more difficulty in achieving adequate blood pressure control.
