Abstract:
Patients with hypertension are at risk of chronic heart failure(CHF) and management of hypertension will reduces the risk of CHF.ACE inhibitor,angiotension Ⅱreceotor antagonists(ARB),Beta-Blockers and diuretics are appear to be more effective than calcium channel blockers in preventing or dslaying the onset of CHF.The target BP that should be reached in patients with CHF is 130/80 mmHg.There is strong evidence from clinical trials show that the combination of two or three antihypertensive drugs above is reasonable.The use of ACE inhibitors/ARB and beta-biockers in all patients with established systolic heart failure who do not have contraindications is the preferred choice with the reduce of mortality.No treatment has yet been shown,convincingly,to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with diastolic heart failure.
