Understanding Hypertension and Its Impact

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, affects various organs in the body beyond the heart and vascular system. It increases the risk of stroke and heart attacks. The podcast highlights that essential hypertension, which constitutes 90% of blood pressure cases, often lacks a clear cause.
