Main Article Content
ABSTRACT
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common condition where the force of blood against artery walls is high enough to potentially cause health problems. Often symptomless, high blood pressure can lead to serious conditions such as heart disease, kidney problems, and strokes. Understanding the mechanisms of how high blood pressure develops is crucial for devising effective treatments and managing the condition to prevent its detrimental effects. This patient education book offers a comprehensive overview of high blood pressure, including its mechanisms, types, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, stages, complications, management, and treatment, all explained in simple terms.
