Hypertension‚ also referred to as high blood pressure‚ is a condition in which the arteries have persistently elevated blood pressure. Every time the human heart beats‚ it pumps blood to the whole body through the arteries. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing up against the blood vessel walls.
