Current issues in the control of hypertension
Abstract
The controversies surrounding population-based hypertension studies compared with controlled clinical trials are discussed. The results of non-pharmacological trials based on life-style changes vs. drug treatment are presented. The ultimate goal of anti-hypertensive therapy is to prevent and reverse target organ damage.
