Abstract

Even in the most experienced hands, presently available hypertension treatment is still a failure in an unacceptably high percentage of patients (Menard 1983); and --according to Menard-- underlying reasons may include physicians’ practices, patients’ characteristics, particularities of the disease, drug side effects, limited efficacy, and drug costs. These matters have not been fully investigated as yet.
