updated Canadian hypertension guidelines emphasize more precise use of medications
April 2006
Newly updated Canadian hypertension guidelines emphasize more precise use of medications.
Beta-blockers should only be used as first-line therapy for UNCOMPLICATED hypertension in patients LESS than 60 years old.
But continue to recommend beta-blockers for hypertensive patients of ALL ages if they also have complications...congestive heart failure, angina, or prior heart attack.
