ABSTRACT

Hypertension is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, affecting approximately 1 billion individuals worldwide. The positive relationship between blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease is strong, independent, and consistent. By reducing blood pressure, many benefits can be seen in hypertensive patients; 50% to 60% lower risk of stroke death and an approximately 40% to 50% lower risk of death due to coronary artery disease. We review the evidence behind the pharmacological strategies available in the treatment of this disease.
