Introduction and description
Hypertension is high blood pressure. It is sometimes called arterial hypertension and is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated.
Blood pressure is summarised by two measurements, systolic and diastolic, which depend on whether the heart muscle is contracting (systole) or relaxed between beats (diastole). This equals the maximum and minimum pressure, respectively.
Normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100-140mmHg systolic (top reading) and 60-90mmHg diastolic (bottom reading).
High blood pressure is said to be present if it is often at or above 140/90 mmHg.
According to Wikipedia “Hypertension puts strain on the heart, leading to hypertensive heart disease and coronary artery disease if not treated. Hypertension is also a major risk factor for stroke, aneurysms of the arteries (e.g. aortic aneurysm), peripheral arterial disease and is a cause of chronic kidney disease. A moderately high arterial blood pressure is associated with a shortened life expectancy while mild elevation is not. Dietary and lifestyle changes can improve blood pressure control and decrease the risk of health complications, although drug treatment is still often necessary in people for whom lifestyle changes are not enough or not effective.”
But hypertension is a symptom not a disease and is usually a feature of blood circulatory system disease, which itself has a number of very specific causes.
Extra details can also be found in Endothelial dysfunction.
