Abstract
The diagnosis and treatment of hypertension is a challenge for any healthcare system. Given the difficulties, limitations, and differences among Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries, the International Forum of Internal Medicine (FIMI) has promoted this Consensus, which includes 23 scientific societies from 21 countries in Europe and the Americas. The objective was to develop a proposal capable of establishing an updated, robust, and common framework for the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension, aimed at internists and hospitalists and useful in Latin America, Spain, and Portugal. The document we present includes the executive summary of FIMI recommendations that, for the various aspects of the disease, aim to guarantee effective, safe, efficient, sustainable, and proportionate healthcare interventions based on the best available scientific evidence. The authors consider that this document should be updated within a maximum of two years.
