This WHO guideline sets out the evidence and reasoning behind recommendations on medicine-based treatment of hypertension in adults. Its scope covers adults who have already been appropriately diagnosed, focusing on questions such as starting treatment, selecting medicine classes and combinations, treatment targets and follow-up arrangements.
The publication explains its development methods and presents the recommendations alongside their supporting evidence and implementation considerations. It also considers the roles of different health workers, special circumstances in service delivery, monitoring and research gaps. This complete 2021 professional edition includes the original tables, references and publication notices, preserving the guidance in its historical context without changing the source text.
