The development of the hypertension and chronic stable angina project was made possible by a grant from the New York State Attorney General on behalf of the Attorneys General of all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico from litigation settlement funds to benefit the healthcare needs of consumers with high blood pressure and angina. Original funding for the site was provided in part by US Congress and CDC. Its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the CDC.
