variables affecting physicians and patients contribute to nonadherence, which negatively
affects treatment outcomes. In patients with hypertension, medication nonadherence is a
significant, often unrecognized, risk factor that contributes to poor blood pressure control,
thereby contributing to the development of further vascular disorders such as heart failure,
coronary heart disease, renal insufficiency, and stroke.

Abstract
Nonadherence with prescribed drug regimens is a pervasive medical problem. Multiple variables affecting physicians and patients contribute to nonadherence, which negatively affects treatment outcomes. In patients with hypertension, medication nonadherence is a significant, often unrecognized, risk factor that contributes to poor blood pressure control, thereby contributing to the development of further vascular disorders such as heart failure, coronary heart disease, renal insufficiency, and stroke.
