Prevalence of arterial hypertension in the Czech Republic is around 40%. Blood pressure control is unsuccessfull despite of a big potencial
of pharmacotherapy. Appropriate blood pressure measurement and ambulatory and home blood pressure monitoring have to be
considered. Secondary hypertension must be excluded when suspected. There is a lack in compliance with lifestyle recommendations
and pharmacotherapy. Pharmacotherapy dosing must be sufficient, including diuretics in combination therapy. Fixed combinations and
valuable communication with patients should be effected.
