ABSTRACT
The concomitant presence of systemic arterial hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequent. Indeed, arterial hypertension is the most common comorbid disease in COPD patients. Since many antihypertensive drugs can act on airway function the treatment of arterial hypertension in COPD patients appears complex. Moreover, in these patients, a combined therapy is required for the adequate control of blood pressure. Currently, available data are inconsistent and not always comparable. Therefore the aim of this review is to analyze how antihypertensive drugs can affect airway function in order to improve the clinical management of hypertensive patients with COPD. Thiazide diuretics and calcium channel blockers appear the first-choice pharmacological treatment for these patients.
