American Heart Association’s Strategic Approach to Blood Pressure Control: A Science Advisory

This Advisory presents the American Heart Association Blood Pressure Control Logic Model as a unifying framework to coordinate and scale multi-sector efforts to improve blood pressure control across healthcare and community settings.

  • Hypertension is a public health challenge in the U.S., affecting more than 120 million people
  • Effective hypertension management and control depend on multi-sector collaboration and aligned data and measurement
  • Culturally and linguistically appropriate education can improve self-management and connection to care
