Hypertension

Arterial hypertension is one of the most significant risk factors of cardiovascular diseases that can be modified with positive results.
High blood pressure forces the heart to work harder to pump blood throughout the body. Because many people feel healthy unaware of their hypertension, it is sometimes called the “silent killer”. If it is not treated, hypertension can cause:
  • Stroke
  • Myocardial infraction
  • Eye problems
  • Kidney problems
  • Death
