The International Society of Hypertension (ISH) has recently developed practice guidelines for the management of hypertension in adults aged ≥18 years. Conceptually, the 2020 ISH Guidelines are closer to the 2018 ESC/ESH Guidelines rather than to the 2017 ACC/AHA Guidelines. The ISH Guidelines have two distinctive features when compared with the 2018 European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension (ESC/ESH) Guidelines and the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Guidelines.
