OVERCOMING THE STUMBLING BLOCKS OF HYPERTENSION: A HOMEOPATHIC AND PREVENTIVE APPROACH

Abstract

The most significant modifiable risk factor for worldwide all-cause morbidity and death is systemic arterial hypertension, which is also linked to an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Though proper treatment of hypertension lowers the overall burden of disease and mortality, less than half of persons with hypertension are aware of their condition, and many more that are aware but are not treated or are treated insufficiently.

The intricate interplay of environmental and path physiological factors, which have an impact on numerous systems, as well as genetic predisposition, is the etiology of hypertension. Detecting secondary causes of hypertension and the presence of co morbidities (like CVD and kidney disease) as well as accurate standard blood pressure (BP) measurement are all part of the evaluation of patients with hypertension. Lowering blood pressure and preventing hypertension and its CVD consequences can be accomplished through lifestyle changes, such as dietary adjustments and increased physical activity. ^[1]
