In managing this patient's hypertension and prediabetes, how do amLODIPine and lisinopril work together to achieve blood pressure control?
amLODIPine reduces blood glucose levels, which indirectly lowers blood pressure, while lisinopril directly reduces blood pressure by increasing diuresis. amLODIPine and lisinopril both increase heart rate, which helps lower blood pressure. amLODIPine causes vasodilation by blocking calcium channels, while lisinopril reduces angiotensin II levels, leading to decreased vasoconstriction and blood pressure. amLODIPine and lisinopril both work by inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system, which directly lowers blood pressure.
