Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is one of the most common worldwide diseases afflicting humans.

Because of the associated diseases, mortality rate and the costs to society, hypertension is an important public health challenge. Fortunately, over the past several decades extensive research and widespread patient education have led to decreased death rates from the multiple organ damage arising from untreated hypertension.
Hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, end-stage renal disease, and peripheral vascular disease. This makes it vital that health care professionals must not only identify and treat patients with hypertension but also promote a healthy lifestyle and preventive strategies to decrease the prevalence of hypertension in the general population.

Do you or a Loved one Suffer from High Blood Pressure?

You can have high blood pressure (hypertension) for years without a single symptom. Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure. High blood pressure typically develops over many years, and it affects nearly everyone eventually. Fortunately, high blood pressure can be easily detected. And once you know you have high blood pressure, you can work with your doctor to control it.
