• Most common form of HTN is primary or essential HTN.

Questions:
• A 30-year-old man in for annual examination. On last exam one year ago, BP was
120/70. Patient has no complaint. On examination, vital signs: BP 158/96 mm Hg, P 88,
R 20 T 98.6 F orally, BMI 34 Kg/m2. Rest of examination showed normal results. What
would your next step be?
• Start antihypertensive therapy with one agent
• Start antihypertensive therapy with two agents
• Check BP two more times in the next two weeks.
• Send patient to ER
