Definition of Hypertension or High Blood Pressure (HBP)

Definition Hypertension is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure is elevated. Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. Each time our heart beats, it pumps out blood into the arteries. Your blood pressure is highest when your heart beats, pumping the blood (systolic pressure). When your heart is at rest, between beats, your blood pressure falls (diastolic pressure).

Hypertension is also referred to as high blood pressure (HBP) or shortened to HT, HTN or HPN. The word "hypertension", by itself, normally refers to systemic, arterial hypertension. (Wikipedia).


The normal number of blood pressure is 120/80 mmHG, It's mean that the systolic is measure as 120 and the diastolic pressures is 80. Persistent hypertension is one of the risk factors for strokes, heart attacks, heart failure and arterial aneurysm, and is a leading cause of chronic renal failure.
