Why rapid achievement of goal blood pressure is important in the treatment of arterial hypertension.
Currently, there is a change in the algorithm of hypertension treatment, introducing its simplification.

This review summarizes changes in recommendations and evidence supporting a more aggressive treatment of hypertension.
