Hypertension Scholarly Journal 

Hypertension is a major public health issue affecting more than 28-30% adults and is a major risk factor in the development of stroke, cardiovascular [CV] and chronic kidney disease. Patients with prehypertension [BP 130-130/80-89 mmHg] are also at an increased risk for adverse CV events compared to normotensive controls. World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that up to 50% of adults in many countries are estimated to have high blood pressure.
