Abstract :
Hypertension is a common chronic disorder and a major risk factor for stroke, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and premature death. Although blood-pressure guidelines provide standardized diagnostic and treatment targets, effective management cannot rely on a uniform plan for every patient. A constitutional approach considers the individual’s age, sex, body composition, family history, lifestyle, dietary pattern, psychological state, comorbidities, kidney function, drug tolerance, socioeconomic circumstances, and treatment preferences. Current hypertension guidance supports individualized blood-pressure targets, riskbased treatment, accurate repeated measurements, lifestyle modification, shared decision-making, and patient-specific drug selection. This article discusses why constitutional assessment is important in hypertension and how it can improve safety, adherence, and long-term cardiovascular outcomes.[1][3]
