Diuretics and beta-blockers are presently recommended as first-line therapy for the treatment of uncomplicated hypertension. JNC VII will probably consider ACE inhibitors worthy of this recommendation. In those at high risk for CHD or CHF, the initial use of an alpha-blocker or calcium antagonist will be recommended with caution. In those with systolic hypertension, who remain at increased risk of stroke, the initial use of CCB therapy continues to be supported by trial-based evidence. A diuretic, based on outcome-based trials, should be included in most regimens to lower the risk of ischemic stroke. Since most patients will require two or more drugs to control their blood pressure, the initial agent chosen will assume less importance for the practicing physician.
