Abstract

Personal, social, and medical factors unique to individual patients have a bearing on the efficacy of specific antihypertensive agents and on the frequency and severity of side effects. The factors relate to age, sex, occupation, potential for adherence to a prescribed program of therapy, and associated health problems. The importance of a simple, inexpensive program is emphasized.
