Hypertension
* Most hypertension is due to diet and weight, while some is due to heredity.
* Most hypertension leads to disorder
  - heart disorder.
  * can lead to diseases such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. Even a small increase above this level can cause problems if it is not fixed for a long time. Hypertension can often be fixed with changes in diet or lifestyle, such as eating less salty food or doing more exercise. However, many people still require medicine to help fix their hypertension

+ Hypertension, Cause, Primary hypertension
  * In almost all contemporary societies, blood pressure rises with aging and the risk of becoming hypertensive in later life is considerable. Hypertension results from a complex interaction of genes and environmental factors. Numerous common genes with small effects on blood pressure have been identifiedThe International Consortium for Blood Pressure Genome-Wide Association Studies. Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk
  - Classification, Neonates and infants: Diseases and disorders of the cardiovascular system
  * Blood pressure is not measured routinely in the healthy newborn. Hypertension is more common in high-risk newborns. A variety of factors, such as gestational age, postconceptional age, and birth weight needs to be taken into account when deciding if a blood pressure is normal in a neonate
  - Complications
  * Hypertension is the most important preventable risk factor for premature death worldwide. It increases the risk of ischemic heart disease strokes, peripheral vascular disease, and other cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, aortic aneurysms, diffuse atherosclerosis, and pulmonary embolism. Hypertension is also a risk factor for cognitive impairment, dementia, and chronic kidney disease
  * Hypertension is diagnosed when the patient has persistently high blood pressure. Traditionally, diagnosis requires three separate sphygmomanometer measurements at one-month intervals. Initial assessment of hypertensive patients includes a complete history and physical examination. With the availability of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitors and home blood pressure machines, importance of avoiding an incorrect diagnosis of patients with white coat hypertension has led to a change in protocols. In the United Kingdom, current best practice is to follow up a single raised clinic reading with ambulatory measurement. Follow-up can also be done, but less ideally, with home blood pressure monitoring over the course of seven days
