Current Cardiovascular Risk Reports Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Purpose of Review

Heart failure (HF) is a growing epidemic that can be prevented. Since hypertension is one of the most prevalent medical conditions and leading causes of morbidity and mortality, aggressive treatment is essential, especially for those at risk for HF.

Recent Findings

There has been significant evidence developed over the past decade highlighting the necessity for rigid blood pressure management; with more recent guidelines addressing the importance of preventing hypertension from progressing to HF.

Summary

In this review, we discuss hypertension management strategies as a preventative tool for HF development.
