More cardiovascular disease (CVD) events can be attributed to high blood pressure (BP) than any other modifiable risk factor.1,2 The proportion of US adults with hypertension that had controlled BP, defined as systolic BP (SBP) <140 mm Hg and diastolic BP (DBP) <90 mm Hg, increased from 31.8% in 1999–2000 to 53.8% in 2013–2014.3 However, this trend was reversed and in 2017–2020, 48.2% of US adults with hypertension had controlled BP.4 The decline in controlled BP was larger among older...
