Essential hypertension makes up about 95% of the cases of high blood pressure, affecting around 72 million Americans.
However, whether in the long term this can also reduce the risk of late complications in people with sustained high blood pressure, otherwise known as essential hypertension, and whether in the long term their anti-hypertensive medication can be reduced remains unresolved, the study by the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) concluded.
Essential hypertension, by virtue of its definition, has no identifiable cause.
