Book Description

Preface
High blood pressure or Hypertension has become one of the major causes of disability and death in India. In America, one in four adults has high BP. It is called a silent killer as it does not produce much symptoms until it is severe, but ultimately leads to serious complications if it is untreated. A ravager that lurks silently in the circulatory system and strikes suddenly, the disease afflicts about 40 million Indians! Untreated it can result in a heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, blindness-even death.

We must remember that all hypertensive cases do not automatically lead to dreadful complications. Many people with slightly elevated pressure do not even require medicine. Even more encouraging, sensible health habits taught from childhood can reduce the risks of developing hypertension. This book wants its readers to be wise and get their blood pressure checked soon. We have concentrated more on the preventive aspects of hypertension. A reader going through this book will understand that very little medical terms are used, and that most of the chapters are in a lucid reader-friendly language. Only certain chapters, like the one on various complications of hypertension, have a bit of medical terminologies. A medical glossary can help the reader in understanding these medical terms and conditions.
