Comparison of international blood pressure guidelines
Guidelines on the choice of agents and how best to step up treatment for various subgroups have changed over time and differ between countries (see Table - A Comparison of International Guidelines on Goal BP and Initial Drug Therapy for Adults With Hypertension).
