the reviewers for providing useful feedback. We also thank all
members of the PASCAR task force on hypertension who worked
on this project and provided feedback throughout the roadmap
development, and all other partners who provided support.
Dr Poulter’s institution has received grant support for research in
hypertension from Pfizer and Servier and he has received speaker
honoraria from AstraZeneca, Lri Therapharma, Napi and Servier. All
other authors report no relationships that could be construed as a
conflict of interest.
The project was fully funded by PASCAR. The Pan-African Society
of Cardiology received unrestricted educational grants from Servier
and AstraZeneca.
