“…Physicians' communication with patients with hypertension and clear instructions on antihypertensive medication were anticipated to affect patient's adherence positively. There was also a positive impact of the education and counselling (offered by health-care professionals) on patients' adherence to their antihypertensive medication as indicated in similar studies (41,42). The frequency of medication changes by the physician affected our patients' adherence in a negative fashion, as reported in another study (43).…”

This study aimed to assess the predictors of non-adherence to antihypertensive medications in northern United Arab Emirates. In a cross-sectional, multicentre study in Ajman Emirate, 250 patients with hypertension were randomly selected from outpatient clinics. Participants answered an interview questionnaire about sociodemographic and clinical data and completed the Morisky medication adherence scale. Non-adherence to antihypertensive medication was reported by 45.6% of patients. Sociodemographic predictors of non-adherence were sex and number of children. Therapy-related predictors of adherence were hospital admissions, number and cost of medications, medication perceived effectiveness and use of traditional remedies. Patient-related predictors of non-adherence were forgetfulness, method of identifying medication and poor awareness of hypertension complications. Health-care-related predictors were regular follow up at clinics, education and counselling, frequency of changing medication by physicians and awareness of physicians' instructions.

“…Medication non-compliance contributes to low rates of HTN control but does not account for all the variability seen in response to blood pressure drugs. Despite numerous strategies to improve compliance [5–8], drug effectiveness [9, 10], and optimization of initial drug choice [4], effectiveness has remained largely unchanged over the past two decades [11]. …”

Hypertension (HTN) is the most common chronic disease in the USA. Hypertensive patients frequently require repeat primary care visits to find an effective drug or drug combination to control their disease. Currently, patients are prescribed drugs for HTN based on race, age, and comorbidities and although the current guidelines are reasonable starting points for prescribing, 50% of hypertensive patients still fail to achieve target blood pressures. Despite numerous strategies to improve compliance, drug effectiveness, and optimization of initial drug choice, effectiveness has remained largely unchanged over the past two decades. Therefore, it is important to pursue alternative strategies to more effectively treat patients and to decrease medical costs. Additional precision medicine work is needed to identify factors associated with effectiveness of commonly used antihypertensive medications. The objective of this manuscript is to present a comprehensive review of the pharmacogenomic and metabolomic factors associated with ACEI and ARB effectiveness and safety.
