Abstract

In June 2013 the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) / European Society of Cardiology (ESC) published new guidelines for the management of hypertension. These are the first European Guidelines for hypertension developed by applying a strict “evidence-based†approach using a grading system for the level of evidence and the strength of recommendations. Several recommendations in the new guidelines deserve careful consideration because they change the way that hypertension is managed is routine clinical practice.
