title: [Raised problems and solution for hypertension treatment in Japan].
abstract: After publishing JSH2009, several points have been indicated to solve the problems. Reduction of salt intake is very important issue in Japan. The estimation of home blood pressure should also been concluded. As indicated by reappraisal of ESH/ESC guideline, many important decisions on hypertension management must currently be taken by the support of evidence from large randomized controlled trials. The following subjects appear in urgent need to be approached by simply designed trials: treatment for the elderly with grade 1 hypertension, diabetic patients or in patients with previous cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease, and the lowest safe BP values to achieve by treatment.
