[ESC Hypertension guidelines 2024 : targeting at-risk patients].

In late summer 2024, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) proposed new recommendations regarding elevated blood pressure (BP) and hypertension (HTN). These guidelines introduce several significant changes aimed at improving the management of elevated BP and HTN. They particularly target patients at high cardiovascular risk who will benefit the most from risk reduction. Another key proposal includes steps towards personalized care, which can influence treatment choices and other tests. These new developments represent progress towards better BP management based on overall cardiovascular risk. The ultimate goal is to eliminate cardiovascular events, but there is still a long way to go.
