Abstract

Despite the existence of a variety of consistent hypertension guidelines,the issue of inadequate management of the condition persists. The challenge for health care professionals is not only to understand and adopt the guidelines but also to take a holistic approach to patient care. In addition, clinicians need to encourage adherence to medication protocols, which will hopefully lead to an overall reduction in morbidity and mortality associated with hypertension. It is the clinician's professional responsibility to be cognizant of the emerging research on vasoactive substances as new drugs are being developed that will effect endothelial receptors. It is important that clinicians are trained appropriately in blood pressure measurement and risk factor identification and intervention.
