Abstract
Although the response to antihypertensive therapy is individual, almost all antihypertensives reduce arterial pressure by 10-15%. From the analysis of the effectiveness of antihypertensives, both in monotherapy and comedication in patients with multiple comorbidities, through clinical studies and real-world data, it is concluded that beta blockers and calcium channel blockers have been proven to be effective and safe in all groups of patients. This comprehensive efficacy, with the optimal profile of side effects, results from proven efficacy in primary and secondary prevention of adverse cardiovascular events, impact on the sympathetic nervous system with nephroprotection, and metabolic neutrality.
