    • Overview

      Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Hypertension (high blood pressure), hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), and smoking are key risk factors for heart disease. With 1 in every 3 American adults having high blood pressure, it is important to understand and recognize blood pressure medications in the pharmacy. This program will discuss the recommendations published by the Eighth joint National Committee and review hypertensive agents commonly seen throughout the pharmacy.
