Hypertension and cardiovascular disease remain leading causes of mortality worldwide, with prevention and early detection essential for reducing their burden. Pharmacists, as highly accessible healthcare professionals, are increasingly recognized as frontline educators who contribute to both awareness and management. This study synthesizes evidence from randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and policy frameworks to evaluate the role of pharmacists in lifestyle counseling, screening, and integrated care for hypertension prevention. Findings confirm that pharmacist-led interventions can significantly reduce blood pressure, enhance medication adherence, and identify undiagnosed cases. Evidence also shows that the most successful outcomes emerge when pharmacists are integrated into multidisciplinary teams and supported through structured training, digital monitoring, and policy frameworks. Future directions highlight the importance of embedding scalable digital systems for accountability and incorporating psychosocial sensitivity into pharmacist practice to strengthen equity and trust in cardiovascular prevention.
