High bloodpressure, also known as hypertension, occurs in 47% of adults in the U.S., Over time, hypertension weakens the heart, blood vessels and kidneys, paving the way for potential stroke or heart attack. Often referred to as the “silent killer,” high bloodpressure is a leading risk factor for heart disease and early death.
