TOPIC: Hypertension
High blood pressure is called 'the silent killer' because it usually
has no symptoms or warning signs. Nearly one in three American adults
has high blood pressure. Once high blood pressure develops, it usually
lasts a lifetime. And although it has no warning signs or symptoms,
uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to heart disease, stroke, and
kidney disease. The good news is that it can be managed. On the next
Health Link we'll examine the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of
hypertension.
