Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common disease that manifests as elevated systemic arterial pressures. Hypertension is most often asymptomatic and is found incidentally as part of a routine physical examination or during triage for an unrelated medical encounter. The disorder can usually be managed with lifestyle modification and medications, but occasionally, vascular intervention or surgery are required. Age, sex, smoking, obesity, and diet are contributing factors to hypertension, which can lead to heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure, and CKD if not managed properly. Many individuals with hypertension are undiagnosed or undertreated.
