The mission of the American Heart Association (AHA) Hypertension Certification program is to improve the outcomes of patients with complex or difficult-to-treat hypertension while partnering with medical practices, incorporating best practices, and implementing evidence-based treatment guidelines. All practitioners in each center have also been trained to recognize secondary causes of hypertension, including hyperaldosteronism. The overarching goals of the certified Hypertension Center encompasses the patient, provider, research and training opportunities, and engagement with insurers and payors. The Certification is focused on enhancing hypertension patient care and is designed to evaluate each medical practice against a professional set of criteria based on demonstrated adherence to key standards and a rigorous review process.
