European Society of Hypertension 2021 recommendations

European recommendations on blood pressure measurement to be published in 2021 to improve screening and management of hypertension! Improving practices to save lives.

European Society of Hypertension 2021 recommendations

The Société Française d'Hypertension Artérielle (SFHTA), in partnership with the European Society of Hypertension (ESH), has translated into French the 2021 recommendations of the European Society of Hypertension for the measurement of blood pressure in and out of the office.
This step is part of the desire of Pr Atul Pathak (President of the SFHTA) and Pr Kreutz (President of the ESH) to give the French-speaking world access to the details of these very useful recommendations for blood pressure measurement in the daily practice of every clinician.
The SFHTA secretariat (Dr Marilucy Lopez-Sublet and Pr Theodora Angoulvant), together with a review group, drew up the document. The Comité Belge de Lutte Contre l'Hypertension Artérielle and the Société Suisse d'Hypertension Artérielle are also associated with this work.
Agir pour le Cœur des femmes wished to share these recommendations to improve the detection and management of hypertension in France, the frequency of which is increasing due to lifestyle factors (salty diet, sedentary lifestyle, stress, smoking), aggravated by successive confinements and telecommuting.
Alert, Anticipate and Act are our 3 flagship missions, and measuring blood pressure accurately is one of our major preventive objectives.

It is intolerable that cardiovascular disease should continue to be the symbol of inequality between men and women in the healthcare field. They kill 200 women every day in France, with delays in treatment due mainly to a lack of awareness of the reality. And yet, 8 out of 10 cardiovascular accidents [...]
