  • Effective and cost-efficient treatment strategies are crucial for managing hypertension.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current hypertension management strategies.
  • To highlight recent guidelines focusing on total cardiovascular risk.
  • To explore novel interventions based on new pathogenetic understanding.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent clinical guidelines on hypertension management.
  • Analysis of current understanding of hypertension pathogenesis.
  • Evaluation of cost-effectiveness in treatment strategies.
