In his report of March 1977 to the President of the United States,1 Dr Robert Levy, director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, pointed out that cardiovascular diseases account for more than half of the deaths and approximately one third of the economic costs of all diseases in the United States. Hypertension is a major contributing factor in these cases, and Levy estimated that at least 27 million people in the United States suffer from it, but many do not know they have it. Thus, hypertension is a common and important disorder in the United States. Crucial to a discussion of the problems of hypertension are the answers to such questions as: what constitutes hypertension in the adult or the child; conversely, what are "healthy" blood pressures for both groups; when does hypertension start; and what are the causes of hypertension?
