title: [Hypertension and gastrointestinal diseases].
abstract: Essential hypertension and gastrointestinal disease are two of the most common diagnoses made in the doctor's office. Since they may occur simultaneously, the differential therapeutic aspects of the respective therapies are of importance for every general practitioner. However, complex interactions between hypertension and gastrointestinal diseases often make the choice of the most suitable drug difficult. The present article provides an overview of the most common therapeutic regimens, identifies possible interactions, and should help the doctor to select the optimal treatment for the individual patient.
