Overview

Purely lowering blood pressure is not sufficient in up-to-date antihypertensive treatment. Certain antihypertensive drugs should be used in specific patient groups according to evidence-based medicine. The treatment should be individualized according to the risk and presence of vascular complications, concomitant diseases and life expectancy as the treatment method determined based on the patient’s individual needs is vital for the patient’s future.
