Abstract:
Preventing lethal sequelae rather than simply controlling blood pressure is the major goal of antihypertensive treatment. By that criterion, there is reason to question the efficacy of current stepped-care protocols. Alternate approaches that incorporate concerns about both intercurrent disease conditions and their multidrug demands are critically examined.
