The goal of screening for high blood pressure is to reduce the chance of poor health outcomes such as heart attack, stroke, and death. Screening for high blood pressure is an accurate way to diagnose high blood pressure sooner rather than later, which leads to earlier treatment. Therefore, although there is limited direct evidence from studies to link screening for high blood pressure to health outcomes such as heart attack, stroke, or death, there is convincing evidence of an important benefit for screening because of accurate tests and effective treatment.
