Association of Long-term Use of Antihypertensive Medications With Late Outcomes Among Patients With Aortic Dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The associations between long-term treatment of aortic dissection with various medications and late patient outcomes are poorly understood.

Objective

To compare late outcomes after long-term use of β-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), or other antihypertensive medications (controls) among patients treated for aortic dissection.

Design, setting, and participants

This population-based retrospective cohort study using the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan included 6978 adult patients with a first-ever aortic dissection who survived to hospital discharge during the period between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2013, and who received during the first 90 days after discharge a p
