Arterial hypertension (aHT) currently affects nearly 1 in every 3 persons in Germany and the number of those affected is steadily increasing. Only half of the patients treated show a controlled blood pressure in the follow-up. A suboptimal treatment involves the danger of cardiovascular and renal events that under certain circumstances can have a fatal course. The publication of the first national treatment guidelines (NVL) on hypertension and the new guidelines of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) 2023 simultaneously represent two updates. Both emphasize the necessity to avoid hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) and the identification of high blood pressure. The focussing on preventive measures and lifestyle recommendations as well as the simplification of target blood pressure values play important roles in the routine practice. This article provides a practical summary of the current recommendations of both guidelines on the diagnostics and treatment of aNT, discusses relevant differences and provides routinely applicable advice.
