Abstract
In Reply We thank Estol for his interest in our Viewpoint1 discussing the call for neurologists to accept the challenge of diagnosing and managing hypertension to prevent neurologic disease. We applaud their efforts to study hypertension within their health system, in particular the effort made to change the culture of young neurologists by educating them on the importance of measuring blood pressure.
