Question

A 5’ 8”, 240 lb., 52-year-old project manager went in for a physical exam. His blood pressure was <180/115 on three separate days. Further examination showed normal to low plasma renin activity, elevated total peripheral resistance (TPR), cardiac output (CO) of 7.2 L/min., X-ray evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, retinal hemorrhages, and mild polyuria. Recommended therapy included weight reduction to his ideal level, a low-salt diet (<2gm/day sodium), prudent exercise, and a reduction in alcohol consumption (<3 oz whiskey/day). This change in lifestyle did little to change the condition. Medication was initiated in the form of an oral diuretic and progressed to a beta-blocker. Eventually a vasodilator was included to reduce the blood pressure to <140/90
