We noted the ratio of hypertension at the grade 3 was the lowest but as evaluated for stratifying risk, the ratio of the very-high-risk group was the highest. These are the preeminent points of these guidelines; differences in risk of CVD are determined not only by the level of BP, but also by the presence or levels of other risk factors. The stratification of patients by absolute level of cardiovascular risk is very important to quantify prognosis and appropriate therapy; however, most clinicians have not evaluated adequately this problem. In addition, the state of the arterial compliance-pulse pressure, dipper and non-dipper did not also touch upon in these guidelines. The percentage of persons in whom hypertension was controlled is widely viewed as unsatisfactory |
