TREATMENT
Lifestyle modification should be prescribed to all patients with elevated blood pressure or
hypertension; however, not all patients diagnosed with hypertension require
pharmacologic therapy.
There are strong data supporting treatment decisions in some patient populations, such as
those with severely elevated blood pressure, those at high cardiovascular risk, and older
adults. However, data are weak and largely indirect for many other patient populations. As
such, good clinical judgment and shared decision-making between patient and provider
are paramount.
