Hypertension is the most prevalent cardiovascular disorder in the world, yet most patients with hypertension do not have their blood pressure under control.

This module on hypertension is important as it outlines the current approach to the diagnosis and management of hypertension in the context of various diverging regional and international hypertension management guidelines.

The module will guide you through accurate blood pressure measurement for screening and monitoring, highlight the risk factors for primary hypertension, and reinforce hypertension staging, treatment targets and overall management.

As one of the most accessible healthcare professionals, pharmacists play a critical role in the prevention, early detection and ongoing management of hypertension. Strengthening your knowledge in this area will enable you to make a meaningful contribution to improved blood pressure control and reduced cardiovascular risk within the communities you serve.
