Abstract

Hypertension Systolic and diastolic blood pressure increases. Hypertension is a diverse group of diseases and is known to be a fatal disease. High blood pressure is a risk factor for premature death, heart failure and brain disease. According to WHO data in 2015, around 1.13 billion people worldwide suffer from hypertension, which means one in three people worldwide are diagnosed with hypertension. This number will continue to increase every year. It is estimated that by 2025, 1.5 billion people will suffer from hypertension, and hypertension and its complications will cause 10.44 million deaths every year. Age and social and economic factors can influence hypertension. The risk of high blood pressure increases with age. This is caused by structural changes in large blood vessels, leading to narrowing of the lumen, hardening of the walls, and increased blood pressure. If not controlled, hypertension can cause complications such as coronary heart disease and stroke, heart failure, kidney failure, peripheral vascular disease and damage to retinal blood vessels which results in visual impairment.
