Joshi, et Al., 2018)? Those undiagnosed patients may not be getting the care they need to manage their hypertension which puts them at greater risk of heart disease and stroke (Yoon, Fryar, and Carroll, 2015). Because of the known dangers, it is essential
that we identify undiagnosed hypertension in order to connect patients to necessary treatment and supports early.
