This document summarizes the management of hypertension. It outlines investigations to confirm diagnosis and assess end organ damage, including tests of renal, endocrine, metabolic, and cardiac function. Lifestyle interventions like weight loss, reduced salt intake, exercise, and the DASH diet are recommended as first-line treatment. If targets are not met, pharmacologic therapy with diuretics, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, and other drug classes is suggested. Treatment goals depend on individual risk factors, aiming for systolic BP lower than 130-140 mmHg and diastolic BP lower than 80-85 mmHg.
