Hypertension

Hypertension is a chronic cardiovascular condition characterized by persistently elevated systemic arterial pressure against the vascular walls Pathophysiologically driven by complex interactions among increased systemic vascular resistance, neurohormonal dysregulation such as renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis activation, and altered renal sodium handling, the condition is typically asymptomatic in its early stages Over time, persistent arterial wall stress promotes vascular remodeling and end-...

Hypertension is a chronic cardiovascular condition characterized by persistently elevated systemic arterial pressure against the vascular walls It affects the circulatory system across diverse adult and pediatric populations and is clinically defined in adults by sustained systolic blood pressure measurements of at least 130 mm Hg, diastolic measurements of at least 80 mm Hg, or ongoing antihypertensive therapy Pathophysiologically driven by complex interactions among increased systemic vascular...
