Then in second part we collect data regarding high blood pressure, use of medication and heart issues. For this purpose we prepare a questionnaire and fill that from patients. Results: Despite the lack of evidence of an immediate increase in risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, primary care physicians often are hesitant to send patients with severe blood pressure elevations home. As a result, it remains common practice to acutely lower blood pressure using short-acting antihypertensive.
