Hypertension is among the most prevalent conditions seen in internal medicine and a major contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The progress in diagnostic techniques and clinical guidelines is making it possible for doctors to diagnose high-risk patients at an earlier stage and treat blood pressure more satisfactorily. In addition to drugs, lifestyle interventions like diet control, exercise, and stress reduction are needed for long-term control.
Internal medicine providers also stress individualized treatment regimens, taking into account comorbidities, patient values, and compliance. Telemonitored blood pressure and digital health systems are more commonly utilized to facilitate ongoing management. As cardiovascular disease continues to increase worldwide, successful hypertension management remains a mainstay of internal medicine practice.
