Abstract
Hypertension is a highly prevalent issue worldwide. The prevalence of underdiagnosed hypertension in India calls for the need for this consensus article, which aims to optimize screening strategies. In this article, a modified Delphi approach was used to develop consensus statements. Key recommendations include the adoption of standardized screening protocols across diverse healthcare settings, incorporating both office-based and out-of-office blood pressure measurements (OBPM). By implementing these evidence-based strategies, the consensus aims to improve the early detection of hypertension, ultimately reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease and enhancing patient outcomes.
