Abstract:Aortic stenosis (AS) has an increasing prevalence with age and is commonly associated
with hypertension. While it has been established that hypertension is associated with increased
mortality in patients with AS, further randomized control trials addressing the use of antihypertensives
specifically in patients with AS are needed. The management of hypertension in
patients with AS needs a cautious approach due to complex hemodynamic and structural changes
involved. Comorbidities like coronary artery disease, heart failure and arrhythmias further dictate
management of hypertension in patients with AS. The aim of this article is to review the various
agents used in the management of hypertension in patients with AS.
