�� Hypertension is a primary or contributing cause of Hypertension is a primary or contributing cause of

319,000 deaths annually and is a risk factor for stroke, 319,000 deaths annually and is a risk factor for stroke,

heart attack, and CHF which account for more than heart attack, and CHF which account for more than

50% of all deaths nationwide 50% of all deaths nationwide (Gatchel & Oordt, 2003)(Gatchel & Oordt, 2003)
