title: [Management of hypertensive patients while searching for a "thread of Ariadne" in the labyrinth of recommendations].
abstract: The abundance of "recommendations" concerning the management of hypertension reflects the Public Health importance of this problem. This abundance and the absence of any real consensus concerning all aspects of this management can leave readers somewhat disconcerted. In this context, the authors attempt to define the guidelines adopted by the various Expert Committees in their approach in order to improve diagnostic performance and treatments, which are still very insufficient, in the field of hypertension.
