[New recommendations of the ESH/ESC: smooth changes for the hypertensive patient].
The last recommendations of the European Society of Hypertension and the European Society of Cardiology made available deal with the diagnosis and the treatment of arterial hypertension. They point to the importance of both 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and home blood pressure measurement. They also underscore the importance of stratifying cardiovascular risk and of controlling strictly blood pressure using hygienic measures and antihypertensive drugs, either as monotherapy or combination therapy.
