| Abstract | Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of
death in China, and an estimated 290 million
individuals are affected by CVD in China (1).
Hypertension is the most important risk factor of
CVD (2). Good control and management of
hypertension are vital to prevent CVD and related
health and social consequences. Over the past several
decades, China has put a significant amount of effort
into the battle against hypertension. Yet, the burden of
hypertension continues to increase. Here, we described
the burden of hypertension and its important risk
factors in China. |
