- Hypertension is the major risk factor for disease and premature death. Although the efficacy of antihypertensive therapy is undisputed, few patients reach target blood pressure. Steps to improve treatment and control include assessment of global cardiovascular risk for the individual patient, improving caregiver support, education and organisation, increasing treatment persistence, using out of office blood pressure monitoring more often, detecting secondary hypertension forms, and referring patients with remaining uncontrolled hypertension to a specialist hypertension centre. In conclusion, there is room for improvement of blood pressure control in hypertensive patients. The clinical benefit of improved blood pressure control may be considerable. This may be particularly true for patients with resistant hypertension.
