Sometimes what you don't know can kill you, but putting knowledge into action can save your life.
Did you know that hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a disease? More than 76.4 million Americans have been diagnosed with this "silent killer." You or a loved one could be affected and not even know.
Moderated by American Heart Association's CEO, Nancy Brown, this Google+ Hangout on Air featured a panel of experts from the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, to discuss common myths and misconceptions about hypertension and what you can do to prevent or treat the "silent killer" in honor of World Health Day on Sunday, April 7.
