Choosing the Correct Medication and Evaluating the Effectiveness of Farmadipine and Captopril in Patients Diagnosed with Arterial Hypertension in Emergency and Urgent Care Settings

Abstract

Arterial hypertension (AH) holds a leading position among common cardiovascular diseases due to its high prevalence, potential for serious complications, disability, and elevated mortality rates. The main reasons for these issues include the late detection of the disease, lack of blood pressure control, failure to adhere to dietary recommendations, psychological stress, and delays in providing medical care during hypertensive crises, often due to patients and their relatives not knowing the necessary first aid.
