Hypertension is also known as high blood pressure. It is defined as transitory (short-lived) or chronic elevation of the blood pressure in the arteries. This elevation may lead to cardiovascular damage. When left untreated, the damage to the circulatory system can cause heart attack, stroke, heart failure, heart disease and kidney failure.
