title: Antihypertensive therapy and quality of life.
abstract: Treatment of mild hypertension is becoming increasingly accepted, and many more patients are receiving antihypertensive drugs. A number of new agents offer potential benefits over traditional therapy. These benefits are due to differences in side effect profiles, which have the potential for improved compliance. Quality of life is an important consideration in the selection of antihypertensive therapy.
