What strategies have been studied for managing BP in the general population with high BP?
The efficacies of both lifestyle advice and administration of pharmacological agents that reduce BP have been widely studied in the general population with high BP. Of the available Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) that meet the inclusion criteria, most involve agents interfering with the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS). Thus, these agents may be over-represented in this Guideline, and if so, it is because of the availability of evidence rather than a deliberate focus of the Work Group.
