Hypertension also referred to as high vital sign , may be a long-term medical condition during which the vital sign within the arteries is persistently elevated. High vital sign typically doesn't cause symptoms. Long-term high vital sign , however, may be a major risk factor for arteria coronaria disease, stroke, coronary failure , fibrillation , peripheral arterial disease, vision loss, chronic renal disorder , and dementia. High vital sign is assessed as primary hypertension or high blood pressure . About 90–95% of cases are primary, defined as high vital sign thanks to nonspecific lifestyle and genetic factors. Lifestyle factors that increase the danger include excess salt within the diet, excess weight , smoking, and alcohol use. The remaining 5–10% of cases are categorized as secondary high vital sign , defined as high vital sign thanks to an identifiable cause, like chronic renal disorder , narrowing of the kidney arteries, an endocrine disorder, or the utilization of contraception pills. Blood pressure is expressed by two measurements, the systolic and diastolic pressures, which are the utmost and minimum pressures, respectively. for many adults, normal vital sign at rest is within the range of 100–130 millimeters mercury (mmHg) systolic and 60–80 mmHg diastolic. for many adults, high vital sign is present if the resting vital sign is persistently at or above 130/80 or 140/90 mmHg. Different numbers apply to children. Ambulatory vital sign monitoring over a 24-hour period appears more accurate than office-based vital sign measurement.
