hypertension
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a condition in which the pressure of a person's blood against their arterial walls is consistently too high. Hypertension is often called the “silent killer” because it may present no warning signs or symptoms obvious to the hypertensive individual and therefore may not be detected until another serious medical condition is diagnosed.
