The World Hypertension Day 2016

17.05.2016

The World Hypertension Day was first inaugurated in May 2005 and has become an annual event ever since. The purpose of the WHD is to promote public awareness of hypertension and to encourage citizens of all countries to prevent and control this silent killer, the modern epidemic.

In the attempt to improve doctor-patient interaction and to increase awareness on hypertension and its associated risks the European Society of Hypertension, in collaboration with the Italian Society of Hypertension, has published a dedicated APP for smartphones and tablets.

This is the only APP on hypertension currently validated and supported by the European Society of Hypertension. A new updated version is now available for the 2016 World Hypertension Day (ESH CARE).
