Today is World Heart Day, and we're thinking about the 7.5 million Canadians living with hypertension — many of whom don't know it yet.

Hypertension has no warning signs. It's often called the silent killer. But it is preventable, detectable, and treatable — and that's what Hypertension Canada exists to do.

1 in 4 people in Canada have hypertension - and they're counting on their primary care providers to recognize and manage it.

The Canadian Hypertension Congress is back in person this November in Toronto, and this year's program includes a session built specifically for primary care. Drs. Rémi Goupil and Gregory Hundemer, co-chairs of the Hypertension Canada Guidelines Committee, will present deep-dive presentations on the Primary Care Guidelines: practical insights you can bring directly back to your clinic.
