N2  - Background: Hypertension is one of the most common diseases nowadays. It affects about 25% of the adult global population and can lead to highly morbid cardiovascular or cerebrovascular complications. However, when recognized early, appropriate lifestyle-related measures and occasionally pharmacologic interventions can help greatly reduce its risks. Objective: In this study, we aim to provide summarized, yet comprehensive review paper focusing on diagnosis and management of hypertension. Methods: We searched PubMed using keywords such as hypertension, its screening, diagnosis, and treatment, and family medicine. Conclusion: Essential hypertension is a systemic disease that can kill the affected people silently. Nevertheless, knowing a lot about its risk factors and how they can be tackled to prevent it or even to greatly reduce its effects once it develops is of high importance; and here the major role of a family physician is revealed.
