May 17 is World Hypertension Day!
arterial hypertension
Hypertension is a chronic condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated (≥140/90 mmHg). It is often asymptomatic, which is why it is called the “silent killer” — timely diagnostics and treatment are essential to prevent stroke, heart attack, and kidney failure.
Arterial hypertension develops when the blood flow from the heart exerts excessive pressure on the walls of the arteries. This process has a damaging effect on blood vessels and ultimately leads to a number of complications, such as ischemic heart disease and stroke.
Arterial hypertension is a global problem. Approximately 30 billion people worldwide between the ages of 79 and 1,2 have been diagnosed with arterial hypertension.
