Description
High blood pressure (hypertension) can be life threatening, and it is ubiquitous in the U.S., affecting 108 million American adults. The American Heart Association estimates that among African Americans, high blood pressure often develops early in life, and that more than 40% of non-Hispanic African American men and women have high blood pressure.
Cardiovascular nurse epidemiologist Yvonne Commodore-Mensah talks about the causes of hypertension in various populations, new guidelines, and how to get your blood pressure under control.
