Abstract

Mild to moderate hypertension is usually asymptomatic and therefore the impact on quality of life and side-effects of the antihypertensive treatment can have a negative effect on treatment compliance. A number of comparative studies have addressed quality of life issues with various antihypertensive agents, and the results of these studies are summarised in this article with particular reference to ACE inhibitors.
