title: [Guidelines for diagnostics and treatment of arterial hypertension. Practical recommendations of the Croatian Working Group for Hypertension. Consideration on the ESH-ESC 2007 guidelines].
abstract: ESH/ECS guidelines for diagnostics and treatment of arterial hypertension 2007 is a basic paper for all physicians who treat hypertensive patients. Since publishing, this article has been the most cited medical paper. According to ESH/ECS guidelines some local peculiarities in each country should be considered when diagnosing and treating hypertensive patients. Practical recommendations of the Croatian working group for the diagnostics and treatment of hypertension are in agreement with ESH/ECS guidelines. However, few additional issues are added and further discussed in this paper (hypertensive crisis, treatment of hypertension in patients undergoing dialysis and in renal transplanted patients, role of family physicians, role of nurse). We believe that this paper will contribute better control of hypertension in Croatia. All medical societies and institutions that took part in writing this document, have to consider this paper as an official statement.
