Arterial hypertension – learn more

Arterial hypertension is a chronic condition in which the pressure in the arteries is constantly elevated (≥140/90 mm Hg). It often occurs without symptoms and is therefore called the "silent killer" - timely diagnostics and treatment are essential to prevent stroke, heart attack and kidney failure.

Arterial hypertension affects more than 1,2 billion people worldwide.

Without treatment, it damages almost all organs and systems.

Early stages are often asymptomatic, which hinders diagnostics and increases the risk of complications.
