  • On September 4th, 2012, CDC released its 25th

  • issue of VITAL SIGNS, a monthly "call to action"

  • concerning a single important Public Health topic.

  • This report focuses on the issue of blood pressure control.

  • In the United States more than one-third of the

  • adult population, or approximately 67 million

  • people, have high blood pressure.

  • Of those with high blood pressure,

  • more than half don't have it under control.

  • High blood pressure makes your 4 times more likely

  • to die from a stroke...and 3 times more likely to die

  • from heart disease.

  • What is high blood pressure and how do we

  • improve control?

  • Normal blood pressure is where your SYSTOLIC

  • pressure, or the top number, less than 120,

  • and your DIASTOLIC pressure,

  • or the bottom number, is less than 80.

  • If you are below this level,

  • make sure you check your blood pressure at least

  • twice a year.

  • If your pressure is 120 to 139 over 80 to 89,

  • you should monitor it closely,

  • and make healthy lifestyle changes.

  • If you have a pressure of 140 over 90 or higher and

  • you are not already being treated for high blood

  • pressure, seek medical attention.

  • If you are being treated, make sure to take your

  • prescribed medicines.

  • Ask your healthcare provider to check your

  • blood pressure during visits, or

  • to check your own pressure,

  • you can buy a blood pressure cuff.

  • You can even get checked for free at many fire

  • stations and pharmacies.

  • High blood pressure has few warning signs.

  • Don't wait until it's too late to control your

  • pressure.

  • Get your blood pressure checked regularly.

  • Remind your healthcare provider or your pharmacist

  • to talk to you about your pressure and know the

  • warning signs.

  • Be physically active.

  • If you smoke, get help to quit.

  • Practice other good health behaviors,

  • and take prescribed medicines as directed.

  • High blood pressure is within your control.
