Non-pharmacological treatment of hypertension.
This paper represents a compilation of the latest scientific research on the non-pharmacological management of hypertension to help practitioners manage this highly prevalent disease. In this regard, recent evidence suggests that nonpharmacological approaches--particularly weight reduction, salt restriction, moderation of alcohol consumption, reduction of cholesterol intake and exercise--may lower elevated pressure and improve the efficacy of pharmacological agents. Non-pharmacological therapy should be stressed for the future treatment of hypertension.
