Hypertension remains the leading international risk factor for cardiovascular disease and premature death but, despite effective treatments, hypertension remains significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated. In the present review paper, we provide a selected update on recent developments of interest in the management of hypertension. We focus on summarizing four topics that we believe are worth highlighting to a clinical audience: (1) the evidence and strong motivation for new lower systolic BP treatment targets; (2) new studies reporting on the efficacy of renal denervation in the management of hypertension; (3) interesting new data to inform the great salt debate; and (4), perhaps most importantly, pioneering new work highlighting the huge potential of multi-disciplinary care in the management of hypertension.
