Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow.  If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower, and in turn, blood pressure becomes high.  If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may cause serious heart disease, including stroke and heart attack. High blood pressure also causes brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed by systolic and diastolic. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic represents the pressure in the vessels when the heart beats and is in a resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg, and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some symptoms of hypertension include headache, nosebleeds, vomiting, and chest pain.

Cardiovascular risk: It is usually diagnosed in patients older than 55 and is characterized by blood vessel disease in the heart, brain, or legs (coronary, peripheral, or cerebral vascular disease) or diabetes with organ damage.
