These 2018 ESC/ESH Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension are designed for adults with hypertension, i.e. aged >_18 years. The purpose of the review and update of these Guidelines was to evaluate and incorporate new evidence into the Guideline recom- mendations. The specific aims of these Guidelines were to produce pragmatic recommendations to improve the detection and treatment of hypertension, and to improve the poor rates of BP control by pro- moting simple and effective treatment strategies.
