Although drug treatment of hypertension is associated with improved survival and decreased vascular complications, drug compliance is a major problem in the control of hypertension. All antihypertensive medications are associated with side effects; thus, it is a physician's responsibility to explain to each patient the side effects of the drugs he prescribes to treat hypertension, and to instill in the patient a sense of necessity for the treatment of hypertension. The choice of antihypertensive drug should be made based on each patient's lifestyle, overall health and ability to tolerate the drug. Ideally, the antihypertensive regimen should be simple, effective, convenient to take and have very few side effects.
尽管高血压的药物治疗与生存率提高及血管并发症减少相关,但药物依从性是高血压控制中的一个主要问题。所有抗高血压药物都有副作用;因此,向每位患者解释其所开用于治疗高血压药物的副作用,并向患者灌输治疗高血压的必要性,是医生的责任。抗高血压药物的选择应基于每位患者的生活方式、整体健康状况以及耐受药物的能力。理想情况下,抗高血压治疗方案应简单、有效、服用方便且副作用极少。
