Highlights substantial hypertension burden with poor control; hypothesis-generating for scalable strategies to close treatment gaps.
One in every two persons ≥20 years in the USA has hypertension with only 39.64% on medications having well-controlled hypertension. Significant discrepancies exist in the burden and control rates in different subpopulation categories. Targeted interventions could help improve the prevalence and hypertension control rates in the USA.
