Abstract
High blood pressure (BP) is the most common chronic condition for which patients visit primary care physicians, affecting about 30% of US adults, with estimated annual costs exceeding $50 billion.1,2 Decades of research have shown that treatment of hypertension prevents cardiovascular events; and many well-tolerated, effective, and inexpensive drugs are readily available.3 Although BP control has improved during the past 2 decades, it is controlled to recommended levels in only about half of US adults with hypertension.4Keywords
