i I have got 2 patient in my practice in a subcentre in rural area with diastolic hypertension. Among them one is 55yrs old male having isolated diastolic hypertension (140/100mmHg) with family history. He is nonsmoker,non diabetic,school teacher. I have treated him with calcium channel blocker and life style modification,after 10 days diastolic became controlled but systolic became 105mmHg.
