In the United States, approximately 47% of adults have hypertension, a condition characterized by consistently elevated blood pressure. This statistic is concerning as high blood pressure is a significant risk factor for serious health issues, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Elevated blood pressure often goes unnoticed due to its asymptomatic nature, earning it the nickname “the silent killer.” Health practitioners must prioritize blood pressure monitoring and management, as early detection and treatment can prevent complications and improve overall health outcomes. By addressing hypertension, practitioners can significantly reduce the burden of cardiovascular diseases and enhance the quality of life for their patients.

Affecting millions worldwide, CHF presents significant health and economic challenges.

Other contributing factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, diabetes, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, stress, certain infections, autoimmune diseases, and some cancer treatments like chemotherapy.
