The SGAs that are associated with hypertension include clozapine, olanzapine, and ziprasidone. Quetiapine and risperidone appear to have the lowest risk of hypertension. Assessing the patient’s pre-existing illness and/or monitoring the patient’s blood pressure and heart rate at baseline and then periodically during treatment can help control and prevent further complications from arising. Table 2 summarizes the key points for the assessment, monitoring, and patient education regarding hypertension in antipsychotic-treated patients.
