Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure is a major cause of illness and death worldwide. Hypertension is a condition in which the pressure of the blood against the artery walls is high enough to damage organs in the body.

Managing High Blood Pressure

Management of hypertension is still a public health challenge despite remarkable successes in prevention and treatment. It is still the most common cause of death and other long-term conditions especially as age increases. If the high blood pressure is managed or prevented, diseases such as stroke, cardiovascular and renal disease might be prevented as well.
