Amlodipine is a member of the calcium channel blocker class. It is a vasodilator, which means that it opens or dilates blood vessels to improve blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart tissue. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic, or water pill, that can lower blood pressure. It prevents surplus salts from being absorbed by sodium and chloride reabsorption, which results in fluid retention or accumulation. By lowering cardiac output—the volume of blood the heart pumps—as well as plasma and extracellular fluid volume—the body's fluids outside of cells—chlorthalidone decreases blood pressure. Telmisartan is a member of the class of medications known as angiotensin II receptor antagonists; angiotensin is a hormone that raises blood pressure by constricting blood vessels.
A medical condition known as hypertension occurs when there is a continuous increase in blood pressure within the arteries. Systolic to diastolic blood pressure is the unit of measurement for blood pressure. Systolic pressure is the force generated by the heart's outflow of blood. Diastolic pressure, on the other hand, is the pressure that your heart experiences in between heartbeats when it is at rest. Your blood pressure is measured at 140/90 mm Hg, which indicates that your diastolic pressure is 90 mm Hg and your systolic pressure is 140 mm Hg. The range of values for optimal blood pressure is 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg. High blood pressure is defined as a reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher.
