Clinical Topics
Cardiovascular Disease and Heart Disease

Approximately half of all adults in the United States have been diagnosed with hypertension, and many have undiagnosed hypertension. Uncontrolled hypertension has a correlation with negative patient outcomes, including cerebral vascular accidents, myocardial infarctions, heart failure, and renal failure. Therefore, appropriate blood pressure management is critical. Current clinical practice guidelines support the implementation of non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions to achieve blood pressure control.  The Intro to Hypertension Management course focuses on specific evidence-based interventions, recommendations, and guidelines to achieve normotensive blood pressures in the adult population, including a discussion for secondary hypertension. 

Learning Objectives

  • Identify current hypertension thresholds
  • Properly diagnose hypertension per current clinical practice guidelines
  • Define and discuss non-pharmacological interventions for hypertension
  • Identify treatments for primary pharmacological interventions for hypertension
  • Discussion on working up secondary hypertension, including secondary pharmacological interventions.
  • What's new in hypertension?

Learning Outcome Evaluation: Participants will state one thing they learned from the program and how they will implement it into their practice.
