Recent Advances in Therapeutic Approach for Hypertension to Improve Cardiac Health

Abstract

Hypertension (HTN) may be defined as persistent increases in arterial blood pressure (BP), which is one of the severe peak medical health conditions that significantly increase various complications of severe cardiovascular problems including myocardial infarction, stroke, and renal failure. In accord with the World Health Organization (WHO), the incidence of death in countries having low- and middle-class families has been reported three-fourth because of heart disease and stroke. It has been one of the crucial avoidable donors to disease and death across the US, leading to myocardial infarction, stroke, and renal failure, if not diagnosed early and treated properly. Hypertension being a common disease kills people silently nationwide as well as globally. According to the WHO, it is the chief cause of mortality and morbidity, and 1.4 billion people have high BP globally, but only 14 percent are having BP under control across the globe. The Eighth Joint National Committee (JNC 8) Guideline for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Management of High Blood Pressure (ACC/AHA/JNC 8) has lately released recommendations based on the evidence on treatment thresholds, goals, and medications in managing hypertension that will enhance adults’ quality of life (QoL).
