Thiazide diuretics are effective, inexpensive, once-daily
antihypertensive drugs that are well tolerated by most patients.
Thiazide diuretics markedly reduce cerebrovascular events and also
decrease myocardial infarction (MI), but they do not reduce the risk of
sudden death or the impact on sudden death is not
reported.1 This is of interest since it has been suggested
that diuretics might increase the risk of sudden death.
