【 摘 要 】
Blood pressure (BP) control is critical for preventing cardiovascular disease. In the United States (U.S.), high BP remains the top modifiable risk factor for conditions such as heart disease and stroke (1). Still, achieving optimal management of BP has been elusive in this country. For example, an analysis of the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey dataset by Hales and colleagues shows that while hypertension control has improved overall in the nation, increasing from 28.5 to 48.3% between 1999–2006 and 2007–2014 (2), BP control has yet to meet the American Heart Association’s target of 70% (3), suggesting that a more integrated approach to managing uncontrolled hypertension such as Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) may be needed to close this gap.
