SCHIAVONE, MIGUEL JAVIER et al. Use of Benzodiazepines in Hypertension Treatment. Rev. argent. cardiol. [online]. 2022, vol.90, n.5, pp.375-379.  Epub 04-Set-2022. ISSN 1850-3748.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7775/rac.es.v90.i5.20558.

Hypertension is a worldwide prevalent disease and one of the main cardiovascular risk factors. Today we live in a society dominated by stress, depression and anxiety, disorders generating a high sympathetic discharge which is damaging for the cardiovascular health. It is usual that as physician we meet patients who in the office and/or emergency departments present some degree of anxiety associated with elevated blood pressure, and in these cases, the treatment chosen to decrease blood pressure is frequently anxiolytics, specially benzodiazepines. As currently no guidelines support the use of anxiolytics for blood pressure management, we decided to carry out a bibliographic review to assess the evidences of their indication to treat hypertension.

Palavras-chave : Hypertension; Blood Pressure; Benzodiazepines.
