This book, published by the World Health Organization, provides comprehensive guidelines for the pharmacological treatment of hypertension in adults. It addresses the significant global health challenge posed by hypertension, a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and stroke. The guidelines are evidence-based and aim to assist healthcare professionals in determining thresholds for initiating drug treatment, selecting first-line drug categories, and managing multi-drug therapies. Special considerations are given to various contexts such as pregnancy and emergencies. The book also includes strategies for implementation, evaluation, and future updates of the guidelines, targeting clinicians, healthcare policymakers, and practitioners involved in hypertension management.
