A clinician s sequential flow chart for management of hypertension is presented (Table D). The determinants will vary among demographic subgroups. Studies demonstrate that implementation of a plan of care for hypertension can lead to sustained reduction of BP and attainment of BP targets over several Meta-analysis of RCTs shows reductions in BP of patients with hypertension and achievement of BP goals at 6 months and 1 year when compared with usual care.4 (See Table D.) Clinical Recommendations 2017 Hypertension Clinical Practice Guidelines4 The Plan of Care for Hypertension (Guideline Section 13) Every adult with hypertension should have a clear, detailed, and current evidence-based plan of care that ensures the achievement of treatment and self-management goals, encourages effective management of comorbid conditions, prompts timely follow-up with the healthcare team, and adheres to CVD GDMT. (Class 1, Level of Evidence: C-EO) ACC indicates American College of Cardiology; AHA, American Heart Association; BP, blood pressure; CDU, care delivery unit; CVD, cardiovascular disease; GDMT, guideline-directed medical therapy/treatment; HBP, high blood pressure; and RCTs, randomized controlled trials.
