dc.description.abstractTo get some perspective of what high blood pressure is and what it means, it is important to look at the causes of death in this nation. Over 67% of the deaths are due to diseases of the cardiovascular system. By far the majority of the cardiovascular diseases that cause these deaths are heart attacks and strokes (WHO, 1990). Therefore this is a disease possessing all of the dimensions of an epidemic. The primary task in preventing this epidemic is to identify those individuals who carry risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease. One major risk factor is high blood pressure. If treated adequately and continuously, it is the one risk factor against which one can demonstrate significant protection from heart failure and stroke.en_GB
