Abstract: In China, hypertension is the most prevalent cardiovascular disease and an important risk factor for the damage of target organs, such as the heart, brain and kidneys. Physical examination is an efficient approach for the screen of hypertension and its associated target organ damages. This consensus document aims to standardize blood pressure measurement during examination, follow-up management after examination, and connection with clinical specialties via recommending different screening strategies and measurements for the physical examination in the general population and patients with hypertension, respectively. It is hoped that this document will help improve the accuracy of blood pressure measurement during examination and the effectiveness of follow-up management after examination, prevent hypertension among those people who are at a high risk of hypertension and control blood pressure in patients with hypertension and ultimately reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
