Abstract

About 60 million Americans have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It occurs when the pressure of your blood against the artery walls is higher than normal. Hypertension is often referred to as a "silent killer" because it causes no symptoms but greatly increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease.
