Abstract
Guidelines concerning the widespread disease "essential arterial hypertension" have been available for a long time. Recently, the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland (AAGBI) and the British Hypertension Society (BHS) presented a guideline that is focused on the handling of patients suffering arterial hypertension previous to elective surgery. Is there any effort and/or benefit in postponing the operation? Within this guideline we find a concrete statement and recommendation how to deal with this question and how to evaluate the cardiovascular risk regarding this parameter.
