- Summary:
- Hypertension is strongly associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. One in three US adults have the condition, which is defined as a blood pressure greater than 140 mm Hg systolic and/or greater than 90 mm Hg diastolic. In 2013, an estimated 20% of adults affected by hypertension in the US are not aware of it, 30% are not being treated for it, and greater than 50% do not have it under control. In this video, Dr. Hershon presents evidence-based, practical methods to improve high blood pressure detection and control.
