ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS:
OVERVIEW:
A n estimated 50 million people in the united states have high blood pressure (hypertension) , commonly defined as a sustained systolic blood pressure of 140 mm hg or higher or a sustained diastolic pressure of 90 mm of hg or higher . Numerous studies have shown that untreated high blood pressure damages blood vessels, accelerates atherosclerosis, and produces left ventricular hypertrophy. The rate at which these changes occur is proportional to the severity of hypertension. Eventually, these abnormalities contributes to the development of ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure and renal failure , which are the most common cause of death in patients who are hypertensive.
HYPERTENSION:
Over the past several decades, health professionals and public officials have increased their efforts to educate the public about the hazards of untreated hypertension and this has led to a significant increase in a number of hypertensive individuals who are aware of their conditions and treat it
