Review of emergency department charts at three university-affiliated hospitals showed that less than half of all patients who had elevated blood pressure (BP) recorded were recognized by physicians to be hypertensive. At the primary teaching hospital, less than one third of patients with the greatest BP elevation (greater than 20 mm Hg above normal) were sent for some type of hypertension follow-up care.
对三家大学附属医院急诊科病历的审查显示，在所有血压（BP）升高的患者中，不到一半的患者被医生诊断为高血压。在主要教学医院，血压升高幅度最大（高于正常水平20毫米汞柱以上）的患者中，不到三分之一的患者被送去接受某种类型的高血压后续护理。
