It is staggering to think that an estimated 1.3 billion adults around the world are affected by hypertension. Today, on World Hypertension Day, together with healthcare professionals, patients, and communities worldwide, we are raising awareness of the importance of a better hypertension control. To drive progress in a space that has seen little innovation for almost twenty years, we must all do our part to support diagnosis, education and treatment of hypertension. The consequences if left uncontrolled include heart attacks, strokes and even death.
