Hypertension is present in nearly 30% of the general population, and with the aging of the population and the increase in obesity, its prevalence is expected to increase. Hypertension is an important risk factor for many common diseases including stroke, end-stage renal disease, heart failure, and myocardial infarction, and is the most common modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factor. Aggressive control of elevated blood pressure (BP) results in a significant decline in morbidity and mortality.
