Hypertension Canada
We work with leading minds across medical and health disciplines to advance research and professional and public education, and with policymakers to ensure Canadians can avoid the potentially deadly complications of hypertension.
Seven and a half million people in Canada, about 1 in 5 adults, live with hypertension. Rising blood pressure over the long-term causes atherosclerosis – the main risk for premature death (before the age of 65).
Canada has become a leader in the early detection of high blood pressure, its treatment, and overall management. Much of this success has been attributed to the Hypertension Canada Guidelines – a set of clinical practice guidelines which are rigorously reviewed and updated annually, providing health care professionals with the most up-to-date recommendations and guidelines for the detection, treatment, and control of hypertension.
