High blood pressure increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, two leading causes of death for Americans. High blood pressure is also very common. Tens of millions of adults in the United States have high blood pressure, and many do not have it under control.

About this screening
- Screening is conducted during your annual exam and consists of blood pressure measurement using a blood pressure cuff. It measures how hard your heart is working to pump blood through your body.
- Left untreated, high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other serious heart conditions.
- High blood pressure has no symptoms and is sometimes called the "silent killer," which is why it is important to have it checked on a regular basis.
