Summary

Hypertension is a major medical and public health burden throughout the world. It is estimated that 1 in 3 adult South Africans are diagnosed with hypertension, however detailed statistics reflecting the burden of disease are somewhat lacking. The implications and effects of poorly controlled hypertension and its associated co-morbidities are significant and extensive. In South Africa, hypertension is the single most prevalent cardiovascular risk factor and predominant contributor to cardiovascular disease and mortality.
