Abstract

Srishti Tripathi*

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a prevalent medical condition with significant health implications. Often referred to as the "silent killer," hypertension gradually damages the cardiovascular system and increases the risk of complications such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. This article provides a comprehensive overview of hypertension, including its definition, causes, risk factors, symptoms, complications, diagnosis, and treatment options. It emphasizes the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring, lifestyle modifications, and appropriate medical interventions in managing hypertension effectively and reducing the associated health risks.
