Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) is a highly prevalent disease causing high morbidity and mortality if not adequately diagnosed and properly treated.
The diagnosis depends on a correct measurement of arterial blood pressure (ABP), with alternative methods to the conventional office measurement being currently used, such as Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) or Home Blood Pressure Monitoring (HBPM).
An appropriate stratification of the additional risk besides the ABP value is essential for treatment planning and for archieving the desired goals for each group of individuals.
It is necessary and desirable to maintain the patients under treatment in order to obtain the benefits derived from pharmacological or non-pharmacological treatment.
