Abstract
Hypertension is a public health issue around the world. At present, Canada is one of the few countries that have achieved remarkable success in the prevention and control of hypertension. Canada has accumulated a considerable amount of advanced experience in the control of hypertension and in the implementation of effective measures against it. This article introduces the prevalence of hypertension in Canada and the development of control strategies and measures against hypertension in Canada, including the Canadian Hypertension Society, the Canadian Hypertensive Education Program, public policies, community interventions, and healthcare systems. We summarize these advanced experiences in order to provide a policy-making basis for the development of hypertension prevention and control in China.
