Heart disease and cerebrovascular accident (CVA) are the first and third leading causes of death, respectively, in the US.1,2 Hypertension is a risk factor for CVA, heart failure, myocardial infarction (MI), peripheral vascular disease, and end-stage renal disease.3-7 Incremental increases in blood pressure readings, starting from 115 mm Hg sys-tolic and 75 mm Hg diastolic, have demonstrated a linear increase in death from ischemic heart disease and CVA.8 Similarly, blood pressure lowering in hypertensive pa-tients leads to significant reductions in the incidence of MI, CVA, and heart failure,5,6,9 emphasizing the impor-tance of achieving and maintaining blood pressure goal readings.
