Hypertension is the primary cause of death and disability worldwide. Despite the availability of several and effective drug classes high blood pressure values still lead to serious cardiovascular pathologies such as ischemic heart disease and heart failure. Thus, the management of essential hypertension is still a challenging issue in clinical practice and a clearly unmet need in the public health system.
The conference will respond to this educational necessity by examining recent evidence in the treatment of hypertension with a specific focus on the “aggressive” new blood pressure targets indicated by the results of the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) study. Discussion will also focus on the different incidence and gravity of hypertension in the black population as well as the hot topic of heart rate, which, in combination with high blood pressure, can increase cardiovascular risk. Treating the main hypertension–related clinical conditions, including acute coronary syndrome and heart failure, will also be addressed.
An application will be made to the EBAC for CME accreditation of the "5th EMEA forum on cardiovascular risks" to be held on 26 November 2016 in Marrakech, Morocco.
