Unlike most health conditions, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE (the "silent killer") often has no warning signs or symptoms. Also called hypertension, it is an important health issue in the United States, affecting about 1 in every 3 adults. People with high blood pressure have an increased risk of getting heart disease, stroke, and even kidney disease.
Why is it so important to know about DRUGS for treatment? Over two-thirds of Americans diagnosed with high blood pressure take some sort of medication to treat it.
