“…Although Canadian processed foods are among the saltiest in the world, little progress has been made in curbing food processors in this regard. 75,76 Even more troubling is the appreciation that the national pipeline for developing innovations in HTN seems to be drying up. Canadian investments in HTN research both by pharmaceutical companies and federally have declined.…”

Canada has an extremely successful hypertension detection and treatment program. The aim of this review was to highlight the historic and current infrastructure and initiatives that have led to this success, and the outlook moving forward into the future. We discuss the evolution of hypertension awareness and control in Canada; contributions made by organizations such as the Canadian Hypertension Society, Blood Pressure Canada, and the Canadian Hypertension Education Program; the amalgamation of these organizations into Hypertension Canada; and the impact that Hypertension Canada has had on hypertension care in Canada. The important contribution that public policy and advocacy can have on prevention and control of blood pressure in Canada is described. We also highlight the importance of population-based strategies, health care access and organization, and accurate blood pressure measurement (including ambulatory, home, and automated office modalities) in optimizing hypertension prevention and management. We end by discussing how Hypertension Canada will move forward in the near and longer term to address the unmet residual risk attributable to hypertension and associated cardiovascular risk factors. Hypertension Canada will continue to strive to enhance hypertension prevention and control rates, thereby improving the quality of life and cardiovascular outcomes of Canadians, while at the same time creating a hypertension care model that can be emulated across the world.

“…54 Several journals have since published commentaries to inform and educate their readership about the issue and ignite further support. [55][56][57] There is similarly a willingness among such organizations to advocate for food and beverage pricing policies to reduce dietary risk associated with obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and other diet-induced diseases. [58][59][60] In an effort to advance evidence-based policy approaches, cardiovascular organizations and their members can encourage, support, and advocate for funding to conduct research that begins to address some of these identified gaps.…”
