    Glossary Hypertension

    condition where blood pressure in arteries is consistently elevated

    Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a condition where the force of the blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. This can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is expressed with two numbers: systolic pressure (when the heart beats) over diastolic pressure (when the heart rests between beats). A reading of 130/80 mmHg or higher is generally considered hypertensive.
