Summary

Hypertension affects approximately 65 million people in the United States and approximately 20 million individuals remain undiagnosed. In Emergency Room visits, many as one third of the patients were noted to have elevated BP readings, two thirds of which could benefit from further therapy or closer clinic follow-up. However primary care follow-up after discharge with an elevated BP is surprisingly low. The purpose of this study is to measure the follow-up rate after the Emergency Room visit in individuals identified with elevated blood pressure after a brief counseling regarding risks of elevated blood pressure.
