High Blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Hence termed the 'silent Killer'. 1in 3 people in US have high blood pressure. With the new BP guidelines in 2017, an additional 31 million people will be diagnosed to have high BP. One of the most important measures and maybe the most easiest.
So guess how many 159 medical students from various US medical schools got all the steps of checking BP right in this study? About 1!!
