Prof. Dr. Bernhard Schwaab, Curschmann-Klinik Timmendorfer Strand, gives an insight into current topics and guidelines for high blood pressure therapy. The permanently high blood pressure is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases that has been well investigated for many decades and one would think that everything has already been saying and documented on this topic. Prof. Dr. Bernhard Schwaab from Timmendorfer Strand, however, the drug treatment of high blood pressure is only one pillar of the therapy. Lifestyle changes are at least as important and are usually more of a challenge for patients.
