One of the main obstacles in the treatment of hypertension is the largely asymptomatic nature of the disease, even with marked elevation in systemic blood pressure. This disconnect between symptoms and long term adverse consequences has earned hypertension the designation, “silent killerâ€. Fortunately, the number and spectrum of agents available to treat patients with hypertension have expanded dramatically over the past 2 decades. Current treatment algorithms recognize that any given drug will likely have effect on more than one of the interrelated systems that regulate circulatory functions.
