Abstract

The objectives in managing the hypertensive patient are to reduce or reverse the risks of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, that are known to be associated with higher levels of arterial pressure. Given the overwhelming evidence from the intervention trials (discussed previously) that the lowering of blood pressure by drugs is associated with a reduction in the incidence of stroke and coronary heart disease events, such objectives are realistic.
