Abstract

In 2007 the European Society of Hypertension, the American Heart Association and the International Society of Hypertension-World Health Organization published new guidelines for the management of hypertension. The need of developing new guidelines for hypertension is due to recently published research data suggesting important modifications in the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in clinical practice.The implementation of the new guidelines is expected to achieve more effective cardiovascular protection in hypertensive patients.
