Why are we still talking about hypertension?
Description
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.
