High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Often referred to as the silent killer, hypertension can quietly damage your heart and other vital organs over time. Hypertension is diagnosed when blood pressure consistently reads 130/80 mm Hg or higher.
