Hypertension control is key to preventing heart disease and stroke

And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention know what works. The lack of progress in improving hypertension control is not caused by a shortage of knowledge. Health systems can have a huge impact on improving hypertension control by implementing policies and protocols, establishing and using guidelines, deploying the full team and using self-measured blood pressure monitoring to develop a pattern of readings for the clinicians to act on.

You can find great information about these strategies, as well as tools and guides,

on the Million Hearts ^® website.

But clearly more needs to be done.

The Million Hearts Initiative is seeking ideas, commitment and connections to build a nation focused on preventing heart disease and strokes.
