The following are key points to remember from the 2017 Guideline for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults: Show Part 1: General Approach, Screening, and Follow-up

How do you manage hypertension in heart failure?Drugs such as beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, aldosterone receptor blockers, hydralazine and nitrates, which have shown mortality benefit in CHF and exert antihypertensive effects, should be used as first-line agents to control HTN in CHF.
Which of the following are the drugs of choice for hypertensive patients with heart failure?There are multiple classes of antihypertensive medications used for the treatment of HTN; the most recommended classes used as first-line for treatment are: Thiazide-type diuretics. Calcium channel blockers. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs)
Which medication is typically prescribed for high blood pressure and congestive heart failure?Combined alpha and beta-blockers are used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Commonly prescribed include: Carvedilol (Coreg, Coreg CR) Labetalol hydrochloride (Normodyne, Trandate)
