Summary
The efficiency of drug therapy diminishes strongly for low values of blood pressure. From the point of vue of prevention the attributable risk in the population can not be significantly reduced by drug treatment, when one takes into account the distribution of blood pressure values.
Zusammenfassung
Mit fallendem Blutdruck nimmt die pharmacotherapeutische Effizienz ab. Unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Vorbeugung kann wegen der Verteilung der Blutdruckwerte durch dieses Vorgehen das Populationrisiko (attributable risk) käum vermindert werden).
