Antihypertensive treatment

Antihypertensive treatment involves medications and lifestyle changes to lower high blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Common medications include diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers. Lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, limiting salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing alcohol consumption, and managing stress can also help control blood pressure. Treatment is tailored to each individual, aiming to reach a target blood pressure level for better cardiovascular health. Regular monitoring and adherence to prescribed therapies are essential for effective management.
