Hypertension Prevalence Estimator Tool

There are millions of US adults who have hypertension (elevated blood pressure) and have recently received medical care, but their hypertension remains undiagnosed and, therefore, untreated. This places them at increased risk for having a heart attack or stroke. The Million Hearts® Hypertension Prevalence Estimator Tool provides the user with a health system’s expected hypertension prevalence, which is the estimated percentage of patients receiving care within the health system who have hypertension. Health systems (including practices) can compare their expected hypertension prevalence calculated using the Estimator Tool with their measured prevalence to assess if they potentially have a large percentage of their patient population who have undiagnosed hypertension.
