Hypertension is also referred as “silent killer” as some people with this disorder remain asymptomatic until it becomes severe. It is a major medical issue existing worldwide and affecting an estimated one billion people. In a national survey conducted from the year 1999 to the year 2000, it was found that 31% of people were unaware of their hypertensive state1. The prevalence of hypertension among the citizens of the United States and Canada is found to be 32% and 22% respectively2. The incidence of hypertension is higher in the Southeastern US, particularly among African Americans2. High BP isn't an illness, but a symptom or sign of internal sickness or pathological course of action. The rise in blood pressure is in fact a compensatory or conservative progression by which a satisfactory circulation of blood to the tissues is kept up, in spite of inhibition or increased flow of blood.The American and European guidelines differ for the cut-off point in the description of hypertension. Specifically, Americans describe hypertension when BP is higher than 130/80 mmHg, in all adults5. However, it is defined by the ESC/ESH guidelines as BP values higher than 140/90 mmHg, with 130/80 mmHg to be the intent only for those at high cardiovascular risk6.
