Mount Sinai Hypertension Ambulatory Care Pathway

The Mount Sinai Ambulatory Care Pathway for Hypertension provides in-depth, evidence-based guidance for primary care physicians and the collaborative team managing patients with hypertension. Included are best practices and practical tips for clinicians, as well as helpful charts and diagrams.

Updated April 2023

Highlights include:

  • Updated hypertension staging thresholds from the American Heart Association
  • Single-pill combinations as the first line of pharmacological treatment whenever available as they are associated with better adherence and persistence than multi-pill regimens
  • Removal of “race-based” pharmacologic treatment recommendations and replaced with guidance for providers to consider all factors in treatment for high risk populations

Plus, you'll find information on diagnosis and evaluation, treatment targets and recommendations, and when to refer to specialty care.
