Abstract
Mental stress has been recognized as an important risk factor of hypertension, yet the clinical guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment for mental stress-induced hypertension remain to be issued. Therefore, experts specialized in cardiology, psychiatry, and traditional Chinese medicine organized by the Psycho-cardiology Group of College of Cardiovascular Physicians of Chinese Medical Doctor Association and Hypertension Group of Chinese Society of Cardiology proposed the present consensus statement, which includes the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the mental stress-induced hypertension. This consensus will hopefully facilitate the clinical practice of this disorder.
