Publicaciones sobre hipertensión en el último año

We review and comment original articles published in the main peer reviewed journals between September 2015 and September 2016 on hypertension, with relevance and potential impact in clinical practice. The selection of the original papers has been necessarily limited and subjective, given the extremely high volume of publications over the period. Some large clinical trials such as SPRINT, HOPE3 or PATHWAY-2, epidemiological studies, cohort studies or studies about ambulatory blood pressure evaluation are discussed. Aspects of the target blood pressure level and treatment are also discussed. In all cases, we present the new evidences on the diagnosis, evaluation and therapeutic management of hypertension published in the last year. Our goal is to motivate thorough reading of the originals that can only be commented briefy here. © 2017 SEHLELHA. Published by Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.
