The session will critically assess the management of hypertension. We will look at diagnosis with close reference to studies assessing clinic blood pressure against ambulatory BP monitoring. Finally attendees will be given insight into the best use of drugs and when to use them. We will discuss how renal denervation will be integrated into practice. |
