Hypertension in a family practice.

Rudnick KV, Sackett DL, Hirst S, Holmes C.

Abstract

The performance of an urban Canadian family practice in the detection, evaluation, treatment, control and follow-up of hypertension for a 10-year period 1965-74 was reviewed. Vigorous case-finding and treatment were followed by good control of hypertension in 67% of cases and a significant decrease in mortality from stroke and congestive heart failure. It is strongly suggested that the proper location for dealing with hypertension is the primary-care practice and that the general practitioner deserves greater assistance from clinical specialists, health foundations and ministries of health in attacking this problem.
