US EditionNew Guideline Aims to Help Primary Care Clinicians Diagnose and Treat Hypertension
- Hypertension Canada released a new guideline on May 26, 2025, to assist primary care clinicians in diagnosing and treating hypertension in adults across Canada.
- This guideline emerged because of diminishing hypertension control rates in Canada linked to varying blood pressure targets, complex recommendations, and low primary care engagement.
- The guideline offers simplified, evidence-based recommendations integrating the WHO HEARTS framework and focuses on earlier diagnosis, individualized treatment, and sustained blood pressure control.
- Dr. Greg Hundemer explained that adopting lower blood pressure criteria will result in a greater number of individuals being diagnosed with hypertension, which could have significant effects on their personal lives, including potential stigma and impacts on insurance.
- The guideline aims to improve population health by supporting frontline providers managing roughly 95% of uncomplicated hypertension cases and will be complemented by a second guideline for complex cases.
