Abstract

The present editorial will review the main recommendations included in the recent guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension issued by the European Society of Hypertension. Emphasis will be given to some crucial issues of major relevance for current clinical practice, such as office and out-of-office blood pressure measurements, blood pressure threshold and targets, combination drugs, the position of beta-blocking drugs in the therapeutic intervention, and renal denervation.

Keywords: Guidelines, hypertension, antihypertensive treatment, clinical trials, blood pressure, renal denervation, cardiovascular risk.
