Type: article
Abstract: The British and Irish Hypertension Society (BIHS) summarized guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the European Society of Cardiology and the European Society of Hypertension (ESH), and published Adult Hypertension Referral Pathway and Therapeutic Management in the Journal of Human Hypertension on January 9, 2023. Based on the existing evidence and expert opinions, this article focuses on the referral criteria of hypertensive patients and the treatment of patients during the referral waiting period, so as to optimize the management of hypertensive patients by primary doctors. The purpose of this article is to interpret the core points of the consensus statement to provide recommendations for primary care physicians in China on the referral criteria and treatment of hypertensive patients during referral waiting period. In view of the complexity and regionalism of China's primary medical problems, it is still necessary for primary doctors to conduct comprehensive evaluation and practice the clinical practice plan that is most beneficial to patients.
