Abstract

Hypertension affects 1 in 3 Americans and results in nearly 900,000 inpatient admits annually due to ineffective management. As a primary factor in the development of strokes, hypertension management is essential. The approach to effectively manage hypertension should be done from a multipoint approach to ensure the specific elements that impede the effective management of hypertension within various patient populations are addressed accordingly, which includes, personal, physical, and health needs. The robust implementation of lifestyle modifications, medication therapy, and self-efficacy interventions can improve hypertension management by almost 37%.
