May 17 is designated #WorldHypertensionDay. The Georgia Maternal Mortality Review Committee has found that hypertension is one of two leading causes of maternal death in the state. According to CDC data, the percentage of adults diagnosed with high blood pressure increases every year. The Georgia Department of Public Health says as much as 18.1% of the population has undiagnosed hypertension. This is a widespread and catastrophic disease, particularly for pregnant mothers. The DPH leads a hypertension management and outreach program with referral, screening and treatment. Please take advantage of this resource if you work with pregnant patients. For more statistics on high blood pressure, stroke, and cardiovascular disease, see: dph.georgia.gov/hypertension-stroke-heart-disease-data-fact-sheets-and-reports
