The author analyses global prevalence of arterial pressure and its impact on population mortality and disability, draws attention to insufficient efficacy of this disease treatment, low awareness of the population about this disease and compliance of the patients. To achieve target arterial pressure, cooperation is necessary between the physician and the patient.
