Abstract
The explosion of new knowledge about the complex mechanisms mediating high blood pressure is providing new targets for drug therapy of hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders. This article reviews the current status of several new approaches in the management of hypertension, including vasopressin antagonists, natriuretic peptide clearance inhibitors, endothelin antagonists, renin inhibitors, angiotensin receptor antagonists, and selective T-type calcium ion channel antagonists.
