    Hypertension, if left untreated, can lead to severe complications including an increased risk for heart attack and stroke. VA research into hypertension includes medication safety, non-pharmacologic interventions, care delivery, and care access for Veterans.

    Hypertension is estimated to affect over 30 percent of all Veterans annually and according to one VA study, nearly 75% of Veterans who suffered stroke. Information about VA's research into Hypertension can be found Here.
