'''Antihypertensives''' are a class of [[medication|drugs]] that are used to treat [[hypertension]] (high blood pressure). Antihypertensive therapy seeks to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as [[stroke]], heart failure, kidney failure and [[myocardial infarction]]. Evidence suggests that reduction of the [[blood pressure]] by 5&nbsp;mmHg can decrease the risk of stroke by 34% and of [[ischaemic heart disease]] by 21%, and can reduce the likelihood of [[dementia]], [[heart failure]], and [[death|mortality]] from [[cardiovascular disease]]. There are many classes of antihypertensives, which lower blood pressure by different means. Among the most important and most widely used medications are [[thiazide diuretic]]s, [[calcium channel blocker]]s, [[ACE inhibitor]]s, [[angiotensin II receptor antagonist]]s (ARBs), and [[beta blocker]]s.</div>FuzzyBot
