Suboptimal global BP control warrants renewed clinical vigilance; leaves open which implementation strategies most effectively close the gap.
Despite the known cardiovascular risks of hypertension, global blood pressure control remains suboptimal, particularly in developing countries, highlighting the need for reinforced guideline implementation.
Erdine et al. (2004) conducted a review in Hypertension. Only 34% of the hypertensive population achieves target blood pressure values less than 140/90 mmHg, highlighting suboptimal global hypertension control.
