Hypertension (HTN) or high blood pressure‚ sometimes called arterial hypertension‚ is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated.[1] This requires the heart to work harder than normal to circulate blood through the blood vessels. Blood pressure is summarised by two measurements‚ systolic and diastolic‚ which depend on whether the heart muscle is contracting (systole) or relaxed between beats (diastole). Normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of

HYPERTENSION What is hypertension? Hypertension‚ also known as high blood pressure‚ is a common condition that occurs when the pressure of the blood in your artery walls is so high; it starts to complicate your health.

The harder it pumps‚ the more constricted the arteries are‚ the higher the blood pressure reads. High blood pressure can be in a person for years and go

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. The higher the pressure the harder the heart has to pump. Hypertension can lead to damaged organs‚ as well as several illnesses‚ such as renal failure (kidney failure)‚ aneurysm‚ heart failure
