Hypertension is among the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease and accounts for 6% of adult deaths worldwide. It is estimated that in 2013, hypertension was responsible for at least 45% of deaths due to heart disease and 51% of deaths due to stroke. Accordingly, management of hypertension and its long-term complications in HIV-infected subjects is a significant component of routine care. The choice of an effective anti-hypertensive therapy in HIV-infected patients is important and must be made carefully in order to prevent cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in these patients.
高血压是心血管疾病的主要危险因素之一，在全球成人死亡病例中占6%。据估计，2013年，高血压导致的死亡至少占心脏病死亡的45%，中风死亡的51%。因此，对感染HIV的患者进行高血压及其长期并发症的管理是常规护理的重要组成部分。为预防这些患者的心血管死亡率和发病率，在感染HIV的患者中选择有效的抗高血压治疗方法很重要，且必须谨慎做出选择。
