Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The primary care physician should treat the patient's underlying disease and his/her blood pressure (achieve an absolute reduction in blood pressure). This two-prolonged strategy saves lives and attenuates the progression of chronic disease. This philosophy of tailoring a patient's medications is supported by the National Kidney Foundation, AHA, ACC, and the JNC 7 guidelines. Table 5 shows an evidence-based summary of treatment recommendations. |
