Hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cerebral arteriosclerosis can generally be well managed through medications and other treatment approaches. If hypertension is present, antihypertensive drugs must be taken. Hypertension is a difficult-to-cure condition that requires long-term medication for control. It's important to maintain stable blood pressure in daily life and to follow a diet low in salt and fat. Hypertension is a common risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease; therefore, treatment for coronary atherosclerosis can only proceed effectively when blood pressure is maintained within the normal range.
