"At ESH, we see the impact of this public health crisis first-hand and want to share real-world, evidence-based recommendations to address this silent killer, which is still underdiagnosed and often difficult to treat," said Giuseppe Mancia, Emeritus Professor of Medicine, University Milano-Bicocca, Italy and Chair of the guidelines.

The comprehensive ESH guidelines were written and approved by a diverse panel of European hypertension specialists for practicing physicians and healthcare professionals with hypertensive patients.

Highlights include:

Updated Measurement & Monitoring Protocols

Expanded Lifestyle Changes in the Management of Hypertension

Novel and Simplified Guidance for Prescribing Patterns for Drug Treatment

Selection of Major Drug Classes

Innovations in the Treatment of Hypertension

Novel Treatment Algorithms 

New approaches to reach patients with chronic conditions including:

Expanded Screening & Management Recommendations Across Patient Populations

"These new guidelines offer a roadmap for creating a customized approach for treating different patient populations and overcoming patient inertia," said Professor Reinhold Kreutz, Charité - University Medicine Berlin, Berlin, Germany and co-chair of the guidelines. "For the first time, recommendations around a wide spectrum of important co-morbidities including the impact of COVID-19 offer a more complete picture of how to manage hypertension with multiple factors at play."

Video presentations with guideline co-authors will be available through the ESH website.
