Abstract

Hypertensive cardiovascular disease is the most common illness treated by primary care physicians. It is an insidious process with well-recognized morbidity and mortality. The sequelae of hypertension can be reduced by drug therapy, but antihypertensive medications are costly and have adverse side effects. The safe and cost-effective use of these medications requires the accurate assessment of each patient’s individual need for therapeutic intervention.
