Abstract

Hypertension is a progressive cardiovascular syndrome with a variety of causes, including cardiovascular risk factors that can lead to changes in heart and blood vessels function and structure. Hypertension is a chronic disease that has negative effects on human health and is the main cause of cardiovascular-disease related deaths. The main objective of the treatment of hypertension is to reduce the overall risk of long-term cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular disease-related mortality, which is closely related to the degree of blood pressure lowering. Antihypertensive drugs describe several classes of compounds with the therapeutic action of preventing, controlling, or treating hypertension. Antihypertensive drug classes differ both structurally and functionally.
