title: [Anti-hypertensive therapies in patients with heart disease].
abstract: Abstract Hypertension is the major cause of cardiovascular disease. Persistent hypertension leads to cardiovascular remodeling and resulted in heart diseases such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmia. The presence of hypertension could also be a precipitating factor of heart diseases and form vicious cycle. Therefore, perfect blood pressure control is essential for the prevention of cardiovascular events. Additionally, it is ideal to choose anti-hypertensive agents, which have cardiovascular-protective effects as well as strong blood pressure-lowering effects. We herein describe anti-hypertensive therapies in patients with heart disease in accordance with JSH2014 and JCS guidelines.
