A member asked:
I know that there isn't any antihypertensives drugs that target only the diastolic number but is there a particular type of meds that works best in isolated diastolic high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antihipertensives: the big majority of them work on both. probably the calcium channel blockers like amlodipine work better on the diastolic blood pressure
