Hypertension
is a chronic, incurable disease that usually requires lifelong medication. For elderly hypertension, simple systolic hypertension, etc., nifedipine, amlodipine, nimodipine and other calcium antagonists can be used as prescribed; some patients with diabetic nephropathy, chronic heart failure and myocardial infarction can be treated with captopril, benazepril, enalapril and other angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors as prescribed. After systematic treatment, it can generally lower blood pressure and control the development of the disease, so taking medicine for hypertension is usually useful.
