The management of hypertension in Queensland general practice.
This survey indicates that hypertension in Queensland is primarily treated by general practitioners. It suggests a real need for a professionally endorsed information package for general practitioners and overwhelmingly points to the need for lifestyle information for patient use. It also identifies the elderly as a special treatment group.
