Abstract EN
Hypertension is one of the commonest diseases worldwide.
Hypertension (HTN) or high blood pressure, sometimes called arterial hypertension, is a chronic medical condition, which elevated blood pressure in the arteries.
This forces the heart to work harder than normal to circulate blood via the blood vessels.
Blood pressure is summarized by two measurements, systolic and diastolic, which depend on between beats (diastole).
Normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100-140 mmHg systolic (top reading) high blood pressure is said to be present if it is persistently at or above 140/90 mmHg of cases are categorized as primary hypertension that means high blood pressure with no obvious underlying medical cause.
Updated studies reported associations between depressive symptoms and hypertensive patients.
Depression may be an independent diagnosis, it is also possible that depressive symptoms are secondary to chronic illnesses and their associated complex medication regimens, regardless of the diagnosis being primary or secondary, prior reports have demonstrated that depressive symptoms are associated with inadequate blood pressure control and complications of hypertension
