ABSTRACT: Arterial hypertension is a condition with a high prevalence in the global population and represents a major risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events, including stroke and death. Non-pharmacological and pharmacological interventions, with combination therapy as a standard strategy, are very effective in achieving optimal blood pressure (BP) goals.
