Hypertension is the diagnosis given when readings consistently rise above normal. Hypertension is the most under treated cardiovascular condition in the U.S., affecting roughly 20% of the population - nearly 60 Million people. It can lead to heart disease, strokes and other serious conditions.

The Joint National Committee (JNC) released new guidelines in May 2003. A new category called "prehypertension" has been added. Patients with prehypertension are at increased risk for progression to hypertension. It is thought an additional 45 million Americans have prehypertension.
