What Is High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is often referred to as the “silent killer” because it frequently shows no obvious symptoms, yet it can lead to serious health problems if left untreated. It is a common medical condition where the force of blood against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. Over time, this increased pressure can cause damage to your arteries and lead to serious health problems.

High Blood Pressure
High Blood Pressure (HBP) is a very common health issue around the world, affecting over 50% of the U.S. population. Of those, 46% of adults are unaware they have HBP. If left untreated, it can cause serious and potentially life-threatening complications over time. Because it often has no symptoms, damage can occur silently until it becomes severe. We encourage you to schedule a high blood pressure screening and consult with our experts at Cardiovascular Specialists of New England.
