In summary, hypertensive blacks have an increased overall benefit of therapy in mild hypertension. They also exhibit an accentuated (supersensitive) response to monotherapy with diuretics or calcium channel blockers. They have a blunted response to most beta blocker monotherapy in usual doses, with the possible exceptions of labetalol and pindolol. They also have a blunted response to converting enzyme inhibitor monotherapy, but both beta blocker and converting enzyme responses are equal when diuretic is added.
