Abstract : 

This paper discusses the most relevant and novel aspects of the new European Society of Hypertension (ESH) practice guidelines 2021. Of these, the most significant is the inclusion of the measurement in Community Pharmacies as a method of  blood pressure (BP) measurement and its comparison against the other existing methods (office, ambulatory and home BP measurements). Despite the weak evidences, it has enormous potential and is postulated as very useful method for screenning of hypertension and useful for follow-up and diagnosis of patients with hypertension.
