OVERVIEW
Hypertension: Review of Guidelines and Drug Therapy Management Course for Dietitians is organized by ContinuingEducation.com - OnCourse Learning Corporation and will be held during Feb 23, 2004 - Oct 10, 2019.
The target audience for this medical event is intended for multiple professions, including nurses, dietitians, paramedics and EMTs, pharmacists, physical therapists, physicians and radiologic technologists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1.00 CPEU.
Conference Description :
The prevalence of hypertension in the United States has increased dramatically over the past few decades, affecting more than 80 million American adults 20 years and older. Hypertension is the most common condition seen in the primary care setting. The prevalence of hypertension is highest in non-Hispanic blacks, tends to be higher in women, and increases with advancing age. Recent data suggests that even people free of hypertension at age 55 still have a 90% lifetime risk of developing high blood pressure. Because there are so many Americans with hypertension, it is vital for healthcare professionals to recognize hypertension and be familiar with the most common treatments, including lifestyle changes and medications.
Conference Objectives are :
• State blood pressure goals in patients with uncomplicated hypertension and in patients with diabetes or renal disease.
• Discuss the five components of lifestyle modification.
• Discuss the four classes of antihypertensive drugs recommended as first-line agents known to reduce the complications associated with hypertension.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
