Abstract
Hypertension is an important public-health challenge worldwide. Prevention, detection, treatment, and control of this condition should receive high priority. Hypertension is defined as an average systolic blood pressure 140 mm Hg or greater, diastolic blood pressure 90 mm Hg or greater. Hypertension is one of the most important cardiovascular risk factor but its control is still a challenge all around the world. Control of blood pressure can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, so the compliance to antihypertensive drugs, life style modification and self care management practices can play an important role for the control of hypertension. Poor adherence to long-term therapies severely compromises the effectiveness of treatment making this a critical issue both from the perspective of quality of life and of health economics. Interventions aimed at improving adherence would provide a significant positive return on investment through primary prevention (of risk factors) and secondary prevention of adverse health outcomes.
