American Heart Association/American College
Cardiology/American Society of
Hypertension in 2017, the Korean Society of
Hypertension and the European Society of
Hypertension revised and announced new

Hypertension published
Korea hypertension fact sheet 2018, including
prevalence,
awareness, management status of
hypertension, and their
trends in
Korea. Herein, I provide information on
