Necessity of a systematic annual consultation in primary care to better improve detection and control of hypertension?
In general medicine, blood pressure control seems to be better than in the general population, whereas the general practitioner is often the first contact with the healthcare system. Poor blood pressure control in the general population can be explained by the lack of general medicine consultation for untreated hypertensive subjects. A systematic annual consultation in general practice could be proposed for this specific population.
