Resumen

En el último tiempo se han publicado en el mundo diferentes guías de diagnóstico y tratamiento de la hipertensión arterial, con algunas modificaciones al respecto de las previas (1-5). Las mismas han presentado algunas discrepancias entre ellas, inclusive en relación a los valores umbrales de presión arterial (PA) para definir al paciente como hipertenso. Por otro lado, estas diferencias se evidencian tanto en la clasificación en grados según los valores de PA, como también en lo que respecta a las metas u objetivos terapéuticos propuestos. Esto se debe en gran parte a que el balance entre riesgo y beneficio del tratamiento en función de estos límites fue objeto de estudio y discusión durante los últimos años (6-10).
