Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a chronic medical condition where the force of blood against the walls of arteries is consistently elevated. It often develops gradually over years without noticeable symptoms, earning its reputation as a "silent killer." Hypertension strains the heart, arteries, and other vital organs, increasing the risk of serious health complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Lifestyle factors like diet high in salt, lack of physical activity, and genetics contribute significantly to its development. Managing hypertension typically involves lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring to reduce the risk of associated complications. • • • #Hypertension #HeartHealth #HighBloodPressure #Healthydiet #AZHeartFoundation #HeartSmart #Cardiovascular #CardiovascularHealth
