| Abstract: | This article provides an update on the management of hypertension mostly based on the recent clinical guidelines issued by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE). Key points being highlighted are the importance of assessment of the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and the fact that beta-blockers (BBs) are no longer considered as appropriate first-line agents (in the absence of other indications for beta-blockade). The importance of fully involving patients in treatment decisions on an on-going basis is also emphasised. |
