The proper diagnosis and treatment of high blood pressure can reduce the risk of stroke by up to 40 pct, and that of heart attack by up to 25pct.
"The nature of hypertension management has changed. It's much more aggressive, and complex, leading to hundreds of recommendations on how to manage high blood pressure," said Feldman, the R.W. Gunton Professor of Therapeutics at Western.
