Core tips: at present, hypertension has become one of the high incidence diseases. Hypertension is often called "silent killer". The harm of hypertension to the heart is the first to bear the brunt. First, hypertension mainly damages the coronary artery of the heart, and gradually causes coronary artery atherosclerosis, thus resulting in angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and other diseases; second, due to the fact that hypertension mainly damages the coronary artery of the heart, it gradually causes coronary artery atherosclerosis, thus leading to angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and other diseases Long term high blood pressure gradually increases the burden of the left ventricle, left ventricular hypertrophy, expansion and the formation of hypertensive heart disease. In addition, hypertension can also cause kidney damage, fundus lesions, resulting in increased urea, renal failure, blurred vision and even blindness.
As we all know, lowering blood pressure has always been the world of Western medicine. The five commonly used antihypertensive drugs are basically western medicine. Some people even deny the role of Chinese herbal medicine, or think that if Chinese herbal medicine products can reduce blood pressure, they also add western medicine ingredients. So, is it better to take western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine for hypertension?

First, hypertension mainly damages the coronary artery of the heart, and gradually causes coronary artery atherosclerosis, thus resulting in angina pectoris, myocardial infarction and other diseases; second, due to long-term blood pressure is relatively high High, gradually increased the burden of the left ventricle, left ventricular hypertrophy, expansion and the formation of hypertensive heart disease. In addition, hypertension can also cause kidney damage, fundus lesions, resulting in increased urea, renal failure, blurred vision and even blindness.
Antihypertensive drugs are a kind of drugs that can control blood pressure and treat hypertension. They play an important role in the physiological regulation of blood pressure by affecting the sympathetic nervous system, renin angiotensin aldosterone system and endothelin system. The commonly used antihypertensive drugs include angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB), calcium channel blocker (CCB), diuretics and beta blockers. However, it is necessary to choose conventional, combined or single compound antihypertensive drugs according to the type and complications of special population.

On the contrary, several commonly recommended antihypertensive drugs, such as diuretics, calcium antagonists, beta blockers, angiotensin receptor antagonists, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, etc., have been verified by a number of long-term and large-scale medical trials and clinical experience. Medical students have a clear understanding of their efficacy and adverse reactions, and their antihypertensive effects and safety are better than those of other antihypertensive drugs It is more reliable.
