Clinician's Roundtable

Host: Mark Nolan Hill, MD Guest: Beverly Green, MD, MPH By the year 2025, it is predicted that more than 1.5 billion people around the world will have hypertension, accounting for nearly half of heart disease risk and three-quarters of stroke risk. With new Web-based technologies emerging as potential treatment options, how will we change our approach to care? How might these programs impact the treatment of hypertension on a global scale? Dr. Beverly Green, an affiliate investigator at the Group Health Center for Health Studies in Seattle, and the lead author of research published in JAMA on innovative Web-based interventions for patients with uncontrolled hypertension, peers into the future of hypertension care during this discussion with host Dr. Mark Nolan Hill.
