This algorithm summarizes the main recommendations of these guidelines. At any stage it is entirely appropriate to seek help from a hypertension expert if treatment is proving difficult. In patients with stage 1 hypertension in whom there is no history of cardiovascular, stroke, or renal events or evidence of abnormal findings and who do not have diabetes or other major risk factors, drug therapy can be delayed for some months. In all other patients (including those with stage 2 hypertension), it is recommended that drug therapy be started when the diagnosis of hypertension is made. CCB indicates calcium channel blocker; ACE‐i, angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; thiazide, thiazide or thiazide‐like diuretics. Blood pressure values are in mm Hg.
