Primary Hypertension

Primary hypertension, also known as essential hypertension, is a condition characterized by elevated blood pressure over extended periods of time without an underlying cause. It is the most common type of hypertension and affects nearly 1 billion people worldwide. Primary hypertension increases the risk of health complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease and is a major contributor to global mortality. Treatment strategies such as lifestyle modifications, medications, and weight loss can help manage symptoms and reduce the risk of further health complications. Awareness and early diagnosis of primary hypertension are essential for prevention and improved outcomes.
