Abstract
Re-emerging epidemic of cardiovascular diseases activates each country to develop its strategies in primary prevention. Hypertension, as a leading cause, is a challenging public health problem. Awareness, treatment and control of hypertension are still inadequate. Socioeconomic factors may be the obstacles. Educating and motivating both the physicians and patients could provide some solutions. Therefore, national projects of screening, setting targets and community participation have to be launched throughout each area. With active public health prevention and lifestyle modifications, one can hope to decrease both hypertensive prevalence and its complication risks in the near future.
