Hypertension
Nurs Stand.

Abstract
An estimated 20 per cent of people in the UK have elevated blood pressure that warrants some form of treatment or monitoring. Hypertension can have serious consequences for patients and may result in death from coronary heart disease and stroke. Early intervention, patient education and lifestyle modification are essential for effective management of hypertension.
