Hypertension
Hypertension, also known as
high blood pressure
, can be a long-term medical condition in which the
blood pressure
in the arteries is persistently
elevated
. Primary high blood pressure usually has no clear cause and is thought to be due to heredity, bad diet, lack of exercise or obesity.
Secondary hypertension
is caused by other medical conditions. Regular
blood pressure checks
help with diagnosis but long-term high blood pressure is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, vascular disease, loss of vision and chronic kidney disease. You may be referred to a
Cardiologist
by your primary healthcare provider.
