Latest British Hypertension Society Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension
Based on a thorough review of data published more recently than the guidelines below (BHS IV), the BHS has collaborated with NICE to amend the recommendations for the pharmacological management of hypertension (June 2006). The algorithm entitled "BHS recommendations for combining blood pressure lowering drugs" has now been superseded by the new model entitled "Choosing drugs for patients newly diagnosed with hypertension" (click here). Please see the NICE/BHS guidelines page for more information (click here).
