This study indicates that cardiovascular diseases are the main killers. Risk factors for these occurrences include hypertension and complications from diabetes. If the condition is aggressively treated and kept under control, cardiovascular mortality can be avoided. Contrary to popular belief, the high prevalence of pulmonary hypertension among those who have tried to take medication is significantly influenced by poor medication adherence. When pharmacotherapy is not started, is not taken as frequently as advised, or is stopped before achieving therapeutic goals, there is suboptimal adherence. The most frequent causes of hypertension risk factors were being overweight and obese. Deaths from cardiovascular causes are on the rise in relation to hypertension. Anyone can develop hypertension (high blood pressure), regardless of their age, gender, or nationality. The heart, arteries, brain, kidneys, and/or eyes are just a few of the various organs that can be impacted by the potentially fatal condition of hypertension. The systolic and diastolic blood pressures for stage 1 hypertension are 140–159 mmHg and 90–99 mmHg, respectively. Systolic blood pressure of 160 mmHg or higher and diastolic blood pressure of 100 mmHg or higher are considered to be stage 2 hypertension. I found this article to be helpful because it had a lot of the content and information I needed.
I will use this source because of the valuable information that the author elaborates in the journal. This will assist me in educating both the female and male population on how to modify their lifestyle, which will reduce the increase in cardiovascular death that is associated with hypertension.

The British Hypertension Society and Royal College of Physicians have published a clinical report. The update states that over one billion people worldwide suffer from hypertension and that efforts to lower hypertension in the population should focus on early diagnosis and effective blood pressure control. Valid issues regarding diagnosing hypertension, secondary hypertension, managing hypertension, resistant hypertension, and novel therapies were covered in this report. Information is given that highlights the significance of early detection and blood pressure control for each of these categories. Moreover, the update mentioned the pressure that hypertension places on the artery walls can cause a wide range of issues. Although there are numerous risk factors for hypertension, the root cause is frequently unknown. In the sense that a person may not be aware they have a medical condition, which results in a lack of treatment, hypertension can be silent. For the majority of patients, hypertension is easily diagnosed and generally manageable.
I find this article to be beneficial due to the extent of the content. This article covers all aspects of therapy, including medications, lifestyle changes, risk factors, and other concerns. An individual must be attentive and conscious of their present and past health state.
