Reasons for therapeutic inertia when managing hypertension in clinical practice in non-Western countries

Abstract: The main reasons for not intensifying antihypertensive treatment when BP remained above goal were the assumption that the time after starting the new drug was too short to attain its full effect, the satisfaction with a clear improvement of BP or with a BP nearing the goal, and the acceptance of good self-measurements.
