At present, there are five categories of antihypertensive drugs: diuretics, beta receptor antagonists, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Each drug has its own characteristics. The antihypertensive drugs used by different people are different. It needs to be individualized according to the specific conditions of patients, the effectiveness and tolerance of drugs, and the economic conditions of patients. For example, diuretics are more suitable for mild to moderate hypertension, and have a better effect on simple systolic hypertension, salt sensitive hypertension, combined heart failure, and hypertension in the elderly. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists are more used in hypertensive patients with proteinuria and impaired glucose tolerance, such as diabetic nephropathy, and hypertensive patients with heart failure and heart infarction. Therefore, the antihypertensive drugs used by different people are different, and doctors need to choose drugs according to individual conditions.
