La presión arterial alta (hipertensión) aumenta el riesgo de enfermedades cardíacas y accidentes cerebrovasculares, la primera y la tercera causa de muerte en Estados Unidos. Cerca del 30 por ciento de la población adulta en Estados Unidos presentaba presión arterial alta entre 2001-2004, y el 70 por ciento de estas personas no se controlaba esta afección. Para evaluar las acciones que se realizan para el control de la presión arterial alta, los CDC analizaron datos de 20 estados. Los resultados indicaron que casi todos los adultos con presión arterial alta hacían algo para controlarla, pero si se les dieran recomendaciones algunos de ellos podrían emprender medidas adicionales como cambios en la dieta, ejercicio y toma de medicamentos recetados.

High blood pressure (HBP) increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, the first and third leading causes of death in the United States. Nearly 30 percent of the U.S. adult population had HBP during 2001–2004, and HBP was not controlled in approximately 70 percent of those persons. To assess the prevalence of actions to control HBP, CDC analyzed data from 20 states. The results indicated that nearly all adults with HBP were taking at least some action, but some persons can take additional actions, including dietary changes, exercise, and taking prescribed medication.
