摘要: Evaluation and treatment of hypertension require training experience. Since the start National High Blood Pressure Education Program (NHBEP) in 1972 [1], remarkable progress has been made detecting, treating controlling hypertension. In last two decades number hypertensives increased dramatically, as percentage taking medication. Diagnosis includes evaluation current blood pressure, according to methodology suggested by Joint Committee on Detection, Treatment or WHO, determination whether is primary secondary [2]. Management assessment other cardiovascular risk factors associated with high pressure complications related hypertensive disease. Therapeutic management lifestyle modification pharmacological treatment.
