Hypertension Awareness Month

It’s Hypertension Awareness Month, and population health research is helping to advance how we predict, manage, and understand high blood pressure 🩺

Recent studies using CARTaGENE and Alberta’s Tomorrow Project data have uncovered insights on:
💊 Suboptimal antihypertensive prescribing patterns in Quebec
💡 Why we should discard the first BP reading in clinical practice
❤️‍🩹 How a hidden hormonal condition may drive heart damage
🧠 The (surprising) effectiveness of traditional vs. ML models
🥗 The impact of statins on diet quality in adults with metabolic syndrome

CanPath and its regional cohorts offer the depth and scale to explore hypertension from every angle, from meds to models to metabolic risk.
