First-Line Treatment for Hypertension:
When it comes to managing high blood pressure, the go-to first-line meds are:
✅ Thiazide diuretics
✅ ACE inhibitors/ARBs
✅ Calcium channel blockers
But what about beta-blockers?
While they’re great for conditions like atrial fibrillation, CAD, or HFrEF, they’re not part of the standard first-line therapy for essential hypertension!
Choose the right treatment for the right patient.
