The principle intent of this publication is to choose and present the most necessary details regarding hypertension. It intends to select even relevant data to steer the approaches to prevent, diagnose, and cure hypertension. Hypertension accounts for at least 50 percent of deaths from stroke and ischemic heart disease globally. New blood pressure (BP) diagnostic thresholds for hypertension were published, which have been put in 130/80 mmHg. As a result, countless people on the planet is going to be identified as hypertensive, realizing they are in greater risk of introducing a CV event. Prevention and management of high BP will be the most important focus for decreasing the load of CV disease, necessitating a shifting of cultural beliefs in some manner very similar to what occurred in the previous century with smoking. Strategies for avoidance of this climbing of BP with age, as well as the BP decrease in people already with elevated degrees, are more complicated than those associated with smoking control. These plans involve strong evidence to be executed in populations. The extensive scientific literature managing hypertension and BP law is one of the very best devoted to one disease. The contents and chapters follow the clinical justification pathways. The characterization of the dangers of elevated blood pressure is introduced from the very first phase, discussing the signs that resulted in changes in diagnostic thresholds as well as the recommendations for keeping BP within these constraints in populations. Reasons for BP increasing with age will accompany along with identifying the causes that have to be fought to preventing the prevalence of hypertension. Identification of hypertension warrants a unique chapter. The concluding chapter introduces the principles to choose medication and non-drug treatments indicated in the prevention and controlling high blood pressure.Degree in Medicine (1974) and residency cardiology (1977) from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
