About The Study: In 2021-2023, most U.S. adults with uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) were not taking antihypertensive medication. Approximately two-thirds of U.S. adults with uncontrolled BP who were not taking antihypertensive medication had systolic BP and diastolic BP within 10 mm Hg of the 2025 AHA/ACCBP goal, indicating that many could potentially achieve BP control with initiation of antihypertensive medication and lifestyle modification.
