So far there is no method to cure hypertension. The aim of hypertension treatment is to control the condition and keep the hypertension within the normal range without causing other complications, and the patient can live and work as a normal person.
The most important thing for people with hypertension is lifestyle intervention, including exercise, developing stress management strategies, a healthy diet and quitting smoking, on which all other treatments are based.
The five common classes of antihypertensive drugs include calcium antagonists (CCB), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin receptor antagonists (ARB), diuretics and beta-blockers. There are also treatment modalities such as lipid-regulating therapy, anti-platelet therapy and blood glucose control.
