title: JNC-VI, hypertension, and you.
abstract: More than 50 million U.S. adults are estimated to have hypertension--defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) of at least 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of at least 90 mmHg--or take antihypertensive medication. Hypertension is directly implicated in a range of conditions, including coronary artery disease (CAD), renovascular disease, and cerebrovascular accidents.
