Abstract

Hypertension is not only one of the diseases most common in the general population, but also one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Due to the large burden of hypertension in the general population, it attracts continous attention of both clinicians as well as scientific societies. In May 2015 the latest recommendations of Polish Society of Arterial Hypertension (PTNT) were issued. They systematize knowledge about the diagnostics and treatment of the disease. In the document particular attention was paid to pharmacotherapy, also with a use of modern molecules such as zofenopril, which place in the PTNT guidelines is discussed in this summary.
