What is NOT a goal of antihypertensive therapy?

Antihypertensive therapy aims to manage high blood pressure and reduce the risks associated with hypertension. The primary goals of this therapy include normalizing blood pressure levels, reducing the risk of damage to vital organs (such as the heart, kidneys, and eyes), and preventing serious complications like strokes.

Eliminating all life stressors, while beneficial for overall health and well-being, is not a direct goal of antihypertensive therapy. Instead, antihypertensive medications are specifically designed to control blood pressure through various mechanisms, without necessarily addressing broader lifestyle factors or stressors that may contribute to hypertension. Therefore, this response focuses on the pharmacological and therapeutic intentions behind antihypertensive treatments rather than lifestyle changes or stress management, which are important but not the primary focus of medication interventions.
