Open Access Articles On Hypertension
High blood pressure, or hypertension, rarely has noticeable symptoms. But if untreated, it increases your risk of serious problems such as heart attacks and strokes. High blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause
health problems, such as heart disease. Blood pressure is determined both 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. You can have
high blood pressure (hypertension) for years without any symptoms. Even without symptoms, damage to blood vessels and your heart continues and can be detected. Uncontrolled
high blood pressure increases your risk of serious
health problems, including
heart attack and stroke. High blood pressure generally 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.
Hypertension is a primary risk factor for
cardiovascular disease, including stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and aneurysm. Keeping blood pressure under control is vital for preserving
health and reducing the risk of these dangerous conditions.
