The MMM21 campaign set up opportunistic community screening sites at hospitals, general practice (GP) surgeries, community pharmacies, gyms, and various other public places. The campaign screened 1322 participants (mean age 46 years, 55% women) and found that 522 (39.5%) had hypertension (systolic BP ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg or on antihypertensive medication) at the time of testing. Of the 522 participants identified with hypertension, only 47.2% were aware of their condition. Of those on antihypertensive medication, only 45.7% had controlled BP (systolic BP < 140 mmHg and diastolic BP < 90 mmHg), and of all hypertensives, only 19.0% were controlled.

Currently, therapeutic success is discreet in the short term but often fails to maintain long-term weight loss due to a high likelihood of weight regain.

To improve the acute management of patients experiencing or at risk for major bleeding events, specific reversal agents for antithrombotic drugs have been recently developed.
