Systemic arterial pressure (SAH) is a serious disease, coronary heart disease (also called coronary artery disease), heart failure, stroke, kidney failure and other health problems can result. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), one third of all adults in the U.S. (31.3%) had HPB. High blood pressure was the cause of death or contribute to 326 million Americans in 2006. In 2010, expenses for high blood pressure the United States $ 76.6 billion in health care, medications and lost work days. 25% of adult Americans have hypertension (PHT) (high blood pressure numbers that are higher than normal but not yet in BPH increases. PHT, the risk of high blood pressure). EDP ​​is the silent killer because of the fact that it bears no signs or symptoms of this disease closely. Most people are not aware that they have hypertension until it’s too late.

BP is written as two numbers. The first number (systolic) represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats. The number (diastolic) representing the pressure in the vessels when the heart rests between beats.

Levels of BP:

Normal Systolic: less than 120 mmHgdiastolic: less than 80mmHg
At-risk (pre-hypertension) Systolic: 120-139 mmHgdiastolic: 80-89 mmHg
Increased systolic: 140 mmHg or higherdiastolic: 90 mmHg or higher

The exact cause of BPH is not known, however a number of factors believed to contribute to this deadly disease. Several factors and conditions may play a role in the development, including:

• Smoking
• Overweight and obesity
• Lack of physical activity
• If salt intake
• Consumption of alcohol in more than (more than 1-2 glasses a day)
• Stress
• The elderly
• Genetics
• Family history of high blood pressure
• chronic kidney disease
• diseases of the thyroid and adrenal glands

Who is more likely to develop BPH?

• People with relatives who have BPH.

BPH does not discriminate against age. Hypertension in children is difficult to diagnose because of fluctuations in their BP, as they grow. Children tend to have high blood pressure, pre-existing conditions. But about 19% of young adults have hypertension, and only half of them are aware that despite this strong connection status of heart attack and stroke risk, according to a new study.
