Hypertension, also referred to as high blood pressure (BP), is one of the most common conditions seen in adult primary care practices. In 2016, there were nearly 33 million visits to provider offices with essential hypertension as the principle diagnosis [1]. In 2017, age-adjusted prevalence data in the United States reveals that 46% of adults aged =20 years have hypertension, which equates to an estimated 116.4 million men and women [2]. Worldwide, at least 1.39 billion adults have high blood pressure [3].
