This is the campaign website for professionals.
Nearly half of all American adults have high blood pressure, yet only about 1 in 4 individuals have their condition under control. Because of the pandemic and persisting health inequities, there is an exacerbated high blood pressure impact on communities of color, particularly for Black, Hispanic/Latine, and Native American adults.
The “Get Down With Your Blood Pressure” campaign teaches adults that self-monitoring their blood pressure is as easy as 4 simple steps: get it, slip it, cuff it, check it. Along with talking to your health care provider on a blood pressure management plan, taking these steps can decrease the incidence of stroke, heart attack, and heart failure.
