[The treatment of arterial hypertension. A plea for personalized therapy].

The authors write in favour of giving a personal touch to the antihypertensive treatment according to the clinical, biological and hemodynamic state of each hypertensive patient. They present a course of medicinal and non medicinal measures adapted to eleven kinds of hypertensive patients. Doing this, they bring out the privileged directions of a diuretic, a beta-blocker, an alpha-blocker, a central acting sympatholytic agent, a calcium channel blocker and a angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor.
