Generally, Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) are evidence-based recommendations, presented as summaries of the best available literature, which are aimed to assist doctors and other health care professionals in the management of patients with a given disease. In the field of hypertension, as well as in other fields, the recommendations in CPG should be easy to implement in routine clinical practice [1]. CPG are intended to provide guidance, recognizing that clinicians should make recommendations that are best suited to meet the needs of individual patients.
