Clinical Hypertension
Clinical hypertension, commonly referred to as high blood pressure, is a condition in which the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries is too high. If untreated, it can cause serious health problems such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. It is one of the most common health problems in the world, yet many people may not be aware of their own hypertension until it is detected through medical testing. Treatment of hypertension can help to reduce the risk of developing these life-threatening conditions, making it an important medical condition to be aware of and monitor.
