AB  - Hypertension  is  one  of  the  leading  causes  of  the  global  burden  of  disease.  Approximately  7.6  million  deaths  (13–15%  of  the  total)  and  92  million  disability-adjusted  life  years  worldwide  were  attributable  to  high  blood  pressure  in  2001.  Hypertension  doubles  the  risk  of  cardiovascular  diseases,  including  coronary  heart  disease  (CHD),  congestive  heart  failure  (CHF),  ischemic  and  hemorrhagic  stroke,  renal  failure,  and  peripheral  arterial  disease.  It  often  is  associated  with  additional  cardiovascular  disease  risk  factors,  and  the  risk  of  cardiovascular  disease  increases  with  the  total  burden  of  risk  factors.  Although  antihypertensive  therapy  reduces  the  risks  of  cardiovascular  and  renal  disease,  large  segments  of  the  hypertensive  population  are  either  untreated  or  inadequately  treated.
