PY - 2020 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine: A Comprehensive Study Guide, 9e AB - An estimated 29% of adults in the United States have hypertension; thus, antihypertensives are commonly found in patient homes.1 Several classes of drugs used to treat hypertension are discussed in this chapter: diuretics, sympatholytic agents, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), and vasodilators (Table 196-1). Calcium channel blockers and β-blockers, also used in the treatment of hypertension, are discussed elsewhere (see Chapter 195, “Calcium Channel Blockers,” and Chapter 194, “Beta-Blockers”).
