Sažetak
One in three adults suffers from high blood pressure (BP), and the prevalence is expected to rise in the future due to population ageing and unhealthy lifestyles. Despite increased public awareness and access to a variety of antihypertensives, BP control remains an unmet objective. The data suggest that a significant proportion of patients with hypertension are not identified and treated, or despite the therapy do not have BP lowered to the recommended values (below 140/90 mmHg). Recently published extracts from the 2018 European Society of Cardiology and European Society of Hypertension Joint Guidelines for the Management of Arterial Hypertension emphasize that the first objective of treatment should be to lower BP below 140/90 mmHg in all patients. If the treatment is well-tolerated, BP should be targeted to 130/80 mmHg in most patients in order to maximally reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, which is the main goal of hypertension treatment. Some solutions which may help improve the BP control are discussed below.
