title: Current problems in hypertension.
abstract: Although the beneficial effects of treating hypertension remain firmly established, concern has recently arisen that certain antihypertensive drugs may adversely modify cardiovascular risk factors. Equipotent blood pressure-lowering agents may also have differing effects on cardiac structure and function. Thus, established approaches to antihypertensive therapy are being questioned and revised or new approaches are being suggested.
