If systolic blood pressures remain greater than 120 mm Hg after adequate heart rate control has been obtained, then [[angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor]]s and/or other [[vasodilator]]s should be administered intravenously to further reduce blood pressure that maintains adequate end-organ perfusion.

The success of treatment of patients with Takayasu arteritis and giant cell arteritis should be periodically evaluated to determine disease activity by repeated physical examination and either an [[erythrocyte sedimentation rate]] or [[C-reactive protein]] level.
