Abstract
Prospective epidemiological investigations of population samples at Framingham and elsewhere have produced a body of data that emphasize the importance of hypertension as a contributor to the high incidence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in affluent parts of the world (Kannel et al. 1969, Paul 1970, Page and Sidd 1972, Intersociety Commission for Heart Disease Resources 1970, Tibblin 1967, A.H.A.-N.H.I. 1965). In particular, the impact of each component of the blood pressure and its net and joint contribution to cardiovascular disease as an ingredient of a cardiovascular risk profile have been ascertained (Kannel 1974).
