In the 2009 Shattuck Lecture, Aram Chobanian describes the tremendous progress that has been made in the recognition and treatment of hypertension in the past 60 years. He lays out the basis of an apparent paradox: despite better recognition and treatment, the prevalence of untreated hypertension continues to increase.
Aram V. Chobanian (2009) studied this question. Improved hypertension therapy and recognition have paradoxically been accompanied by a continuing increase in the overall prevalence of untreated hypertension.
