The purpose of the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7) is to provide an evidence-based approach to the prevention and management of hypertension. Applying JNC 7 recommendations to clinical practice will prevent the devastating consequences of uncontrolled hypertension. I recommend this guideline to clinicians and public health workers with the conviction that its contents will indeed contribute to the further prevention of premature morbidity and mortality. Dr. Chobanian has our deep gratitude for leading the effort to develop this report in such a timely manner. His brilliant leadership is what made the JNC 7 and related materials possible.
