The Role of Antihypertensive Drugs in the Treatment of Essential Hypertension

Abstract

This study investigates the role of antihypertensive drugs in the treatment of essential hypertension through clinical case evaluations. Seventeen patients were followed long-term, two of whom had malignant hypertension accompanied by renal failure. The study emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate antihypertensive agents based on the clinical status of the patient and highlights the potential dangers of sudden blood pressure drops. While positive outcomes were observed in certain patient groups, especially those without complications, the prognosis remained unchanged in malignant hypertension cases.

Keywords
