What is A Hypertensive Patient in the General Practitioner's Surgery about?

The article briefly summarizes recent knowledge regarding the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension. Correct diagnosis of hypertension requires repeated ambulatory and home blood pressure measurements and a more frequent use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, particularly in younger patients. Non-pharmacological measures can significantly reduce blood pressure and should be applied to all patients. To achieve target blood pressure levels, most patients require the use of a combination of several antihypertensive drugs, ideally in the form of fixed combinations that reduce blood pressure more effectively, improve patient adherence to treatment, and are frequently associated with lower rates of adverse effects.
