A practical approach to hypertension.
At least ten percent of the adult population has hypertension. Detection and effective treatment of hypertension are imperative in order to prevent the cardiovascular consequences. Effective antihypertensive treatment reduces morbidity and mortality. Weight reduction and sodium restriction are important fundamentals, and diuretics are the cornerstone of drug therapy. In order to increase patient compliance, treatment should be simple and drugs given twice daily wherever possible.
