Summary
Many patients want to know which blood pressure medication is the best for them. In this
study, we will test the feasibility of a new approach to determining the best blood pressure
medication for individual patients by performing an N-of-1 trial in which patients will have
the opportunity to test a series of 3 blood pressure medications at escalating doses while
carefully measuring their blood pressure and side-effects. At the end of each of these N-of-1
trials, we will ask patients to complete a questionnaire in which they rate their level of
satisfaction with this approach to learning about which is the best blood pressure medication
for them.
