Abstract
A new era in the management of high blood pressure is emerging. A number of drugs, acting by different mechanisms, are appropriate as individualized initial choices for treatment. The control of elevated blood pressure by single-drug therapy, if at all possible, will reduce the frequency of side effects and preserve a decent quality of life.Keywords
