title: [The importance of therapy compliance in the treatment of arterial hypertension].
abstract: The hypertensive patient remains mostly asymptomatic and requires medication over his entire life. A sufficient follow-up may sometimes be difficult. Poor control of blood pressure is frequently due to inadequate compliance with the prescribed medication. This compliance is therefore a factor to be considered in any instance of a follow-up consultation of a hypertensive patient.
