[Errors in the treatment of hypertension (author's transl)].
Errors in the treatment of hypertension may occur at any level of the therapeutic concept. They can, however, largely be avoided by considering the following suggestions. A hypertension requiring treatment is usually only detectable by several blood pressure measurements taken on different days. A diagnostic confirmation of the hypertensive disease should precede the onset of the antihypertensive therapy. General measures and dietetic restrictions and indispensable to any hypertensive therapy. Drug therapy can only be successful if it is individual, if side-effects are avoided and if contraindications are taken into consideration. In addition the frequency of taking the drug and the necessary number of tablets to regulate the blood pressure must be kept as low as possible.
