Current controversies and new approaches
Clear evidence shows that lowering blood pressure in severe hypertension through drug therapy reduces major cardiovascular events, with recent studies indicating potential benefits for patients with mild to moderate hypertension as well. However, the advantages of these drugs can be countered by adverse effects, such as increased impotence and metabolic disorders linked to thiazide diuretics. This highlights the need for further exploration into treating mild to moderate hypertension. The ideal medication would target the underlying mechanisms of elevated blood pressure, prevent counter-regulatory responses, and exhibit minimal short- and long-term side effects, especially for younger patients. These topics were addressed at the symposium “Mild Hypertension: Current Controversies and New Approaches” in Titisee, West Germany, from October 13-15, 1983. The discussions began with an overview of the neural and hormonal regulation of blood pressure in healthy individuals, followed by an examination of potential pathophysiological mechanisms in hypertensive patients. Special emphasis was placed on the central nervous system and the role of the peripheral nervous system, as these areas may offer new avenues for effective therapeutic interventions in clinical hypertension. The symposium also reviewed current management strategies for mild to moderate hypertension.
