CHD 5.1 Rationale
Epidemiological data indicate that continued hypertension following
the onset of CHD increases the risk of a cardiac event and that the reduction
of blood pressure reduces risk.
Patients with known CHD should have their blood pressure measured
at least annually.
CHD 5.2 Reporting and verification
Practices should report the percentage of patients on the CHD
register who have had their blood pressure recorded in the last 15 months.
