Description
It’s been almost ten years since the JNC8 Guidelines for Hypertension were released, yet some clinicians are not up to date with their evidence-based guidelines for managing patients with hypertension. If you are still prescribing a beta blocker or non-dihydropyridine CCB as a primary antihypertensive...or, if you are recommending an ACE inhibitor for a person of African descent as primary therapy for hypertension with no known kidney disease...then this presentation is for you! Learn the top four initial recommendations for the treatment of hypertension and be prepared to confidently manage ALL of your patients with hypertension.
