Treatment in the First Month After Hypertension Diagnosis Improves Blood Pressure Control
TI within the first month after diagnosis in contrast to later time points, leads to better BP control at 6 to 30 months, which is associated with better clinical outcomes and performance on standard hypertension control metrics. While better control is sustained for 30 months, treatment with monotherapy during the first month following diagnosis was insufficient to control hypertension in >30% of patients.
