Treatment for high blood pressure is aimed to prevent the excess morbidity and mortality associated with hypertension by reducing the blood pressure to acceptable levels and by improving the cardiovascular risk status. Antihypertensive medications can be selected that not only reduce blood pressure but also have beneficial effects in concomitant illness and neutral or positive effects on other cardiovascular risk factors. Multiple drug therapy offers not only the possibility of greater therapeutic efficacy than that achieved with single agents but also the possibility of reduced incidence of side effects through complementary actions. The antihypertensive regimen should be simple and acceptable to the patient to promote compliance. Nurses, along with physicians, have an integral role in the long-term management of hypertensive patients through education, counsel, and follow-up for blood pressure control and health promotion.
高血压治疗旨在通过将血压降至可接受水平并改善心血管风险状况，预防与高血压相关的过高发病率和死亡率。可以选择不仅能降低血压，而且对伴随疾病有有益作用，对其他心血管危险因素有中性或积极作用的抗高血压药物。联合药物治疗不仅有可能比单一药物取得更大的治疗效果，而且有可能通过互补作用降低副作用的发生率。抗高血压治疗方案应简单且患者能够接受，以促进依从性。护士与医生一道，在高血压患者的长期管理中，通过教育、咨询以及对血压控制和健康促进的随访，发挥不可或缺的作用。
