Hypertension and Healthcare

Hypertension is defined as the presence of the blood pressure (BP) elevation to a level which might place the patient at an increased risk for target organ damage in several of vascular beds including Heart, Large Conduit Arteries and other main functional body organs (Kidney, Brain, Retina). Hypertension accounts for 25% cases of heart failure. In elderly it accounts for 68% cases of Heart Failure. The risk of heart failure depends on the gender. Risk is generally increased by 2 fold in men and 3-fold in women. The uncontrolled and prolonged elevation of BP can lead to a variety of changes in the myocardial structure, Coronary Vasculature and Conduction System of the Heart.
Health care is the maintenance or improvement of health by means of preventing, diagnosing and treating of illness, sickness, damage and other physical and mental hindrances in individuals. Healthcare is conveyed by health professionals in different health professions. It incorporates the work done in providing primary care, secondary care and tertiary care in addition to public health.
