Abstract

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a major global health issue with a prevalence of 1,655 in 100,000 population. One of the major risk factors and progression factors of IHD is hypertension. Hypertension is marked by an increase in baseline blood pressure over 140/90 mmHg. Hypertension possesses the ability to induce hypertension-induced organ damage (HMOD), which increases the risk of morbidity and mortality in IHD. It is known that hypertension is the major contributing factor to morbidity and mortality in IHD. The management of hypertension has advanced in the past decade and newer drugs have been used and researched. New guidelines have emerged for blood pressure control in the general population as well as in the cardiovascular disease population, including IHD.  The aims of blood pressure control in the CVD population focus on preventing further CVD events and reducing disease progression. Thus, this review aims to review the latest management of hypertension, especially in the settings of patients with IHD.
