Evalution of the Hypertensive Patient

Ray W. Gifford Jr. M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio

Streamlining the evaluation of hypertensive patients should conserve manpower, physical facilities and economic resources that can more profitably be applied to the treatment of hypertension without sacrificing quality of care. The concept of " second look" is advocated for those patients whose hypertension fails to respond to conventional therapy. Finally, the medical profession must not only accept, but take a leadership role in training allied health professional personnel to assist in the evaluation and treatment of hypertensive patients.
