High Blood Pressure Statistics
According to recent estimates, one in four U.S. adults has high blood pressure, but because there are no symptoms, nearly one-third of these people don't know they have it. In fact, many people have high blood pressure for years without knowing it.

Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure. This is why high blood pressure is often called the "silent killer." The only way to tell if you have high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure checked.
 

Statistics:
High blood pressure (hypertension) was listed as a primary or contributing
   cause of death in about 251,000 U.S. deaths in 2000.

As many as 50 million Americans age 6 and older have high blood pressure.

One in five Americans (and one in four adults) has high blood pressure.

Of those people with high blood pressure, 30 percent don't know they have it.

Of all people with high blood pressure, 11 percent aren't on therapy
   (special diet or drugs), 25 percent are on inadequate therapy,
   and 34 percent are on adequate therapy.

The cause of 90–95 percent of the cases of high blood pressure isn't known;
   however, high blood pressure is easily detected and usually controllable.
