    Author: Nardo P, Bovier P, Pechère-Bertschi A.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse; 2006 Sep 13; 2(78):2024-6, 2029-34. PubMed ID: 17019837.
    Abstract:
    The management of hypertension in Switzerland follows the Guidelines of the European Society of Hypertension and Cardiology (ESH-ESC 2003). The aim of our survey was to evaluate to what extent initial check-up and determination of the absolute cardiovascular risk of hypertensive patients are performed by residents of a medical outpatient clinic. Hypertension is a very frequent condition in this kind of consultation, 1 patient in 3 being treated for a high blood pressure. Despite of this, the initial evaluation of the absolute cardiovascular risk is not performed in accordance with the guidelines. The assessment of diabetes or dyslipidemia and the search for target organ damage are not systematically done, even in case of high blood pressure values (grade I-III).
