Abstract
Hypertension is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, renal failure, and peripheral vascular disease. The importance of preventing hypertension and controlling blood pressure in patients with hypertension is well established and is associated with reduced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rates. Treatment guidelines should consider the merits of dietary changes in addition to pharmacologic therapy in the control of mild hypertension.
