World Hypertension Day

ICRH is proud to once again be one of the sponsors of World Hypertension Day. May 17th of each year is designated as World Hypertension Day by the World Hypertension League (WHL). ICRH has supported this important event since its inception in 2005. The WHL is comprised of member organizations from 85 countries, including Canada, all of whom celebrate World Hypertension Day worldwide.

Hypertension is by far the largest risk factor for heart disease, stroke and kidney diseases. Over 1.5 billion people suffer from hypertension worldwide and the WHO has identified hypertension as the top cause of CVD related deaths. Yet awareness about hypertension is very poor among the public. Nearly 50% of Canadians who are hypertensive are not aware of their condition. The purpose of World Hypertension Day is to communicate to the public the importance of hypertension and its serious medical complications, and to provide information on prevention, detection and treatment. The theme for 2007 is "Healthy Diet...Healthy Blood Pressure". While much of the campaign focuses on lifestyle modifications, treatment and control are also integral aspects. Adherence to lifestyle and therapeutic interventions are also emphasized.
