Highlights & Basics
- Essential hypertension is typically diagnosed by screening of an asymptomatic individual.
- Treatment of uncontrolled hypertension reduces the risks of mortality and of cardiac, vascular, renal, and cerebrovascular complications.
- Lifestyle changes are recommended for all patients: weight loss, exercise, decreased sodium intake, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, and moderation of alcohol consumption.
- Choice of drug therapy is often driven by considerations related to comorbid disease, but achievement of blood pressure goal may be accomplished with a variety of therapeutic agent(s).
