Clinicians’ time in different aspects of hypertension care: how far are we from optimal management required by guidelines? Results of an international survey of the working group of general practitioners’ and team-based care of the European Society o

These findings highlight the importance of considering real-world clinician time constraints in the development and prioritisation of hypertension guideline recommendations and suggest that adequate health-system resources are needed to support their implementation.
