Bridging the Gap: Managing Hypertension in Indian Patients with Metabolic Syndrome
Hypertension (HTN) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are highly prevalent conditions that significantly elevate the risk of cardiovascular (CV) diseases and mortality. The high burden of it in India and the lack of standardized management guidelines for the coexistent conditions exhibit the need for this consensus article. In this article, a modified Delphi approach was used to develop consensus statements. This comprehensive guide establishes a basis for future guidelines, policies, training, and education in management of HTN in MetS. By synthesizing current evidence and expert opinion, these consensus guidelines aim to standardize the management of HTN and MetS, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing the global burden of these conditions.
