The cause of hypertension

 Hypertension or high blood pressure , sometimes called arterial hypertension, is a chronic condition in which the arterial blood pressure is raised. This requires the heart to work harder than normal to circulate blood through the blood vessels. Blood pressure involves two measurements, systolic blood pressure and diastolic, and also depend on whether the heart muscle is performed (systolic) or relax between beats (diastolic). Normal blood pressure is in the range 100-140mmHg systolic (first reading) and diastolic blood pressure 60-90mmHg (read below). Hypertension was told that if it o140 / 90 mmHg or higher.

Cause

According to the study results indicate that up to 90% of patients with unexplained hypertension house n particular. In addition to a number of factors that can not be changed to cause hypertension (essential hypertension), it also indicates that there are some factors that increase the causes of secondary hypertension.

These factors increase the blood pressure down i th In order to replace:

- Age: older people are often at risk for high blood pressure, especially systolic blood pressure due to hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis.

- Race is also a factor to increase the risk of high blood pressure. Many research results indicate that African Americans with high blood pressure than Caucasians and age of infection is lower than whites

- Socio-economic conditions also cause hypertension increases. These places have low economic conditions, the situation is difficult, hypertension than in other places with better conditions.

- Family history: If families have a parent or grandparent with hypertension, the risk of this disease is also quite high. Hypertension is also a genetic component.

- Gender: Overall hypertension in men than in women. This capability may vary depending on their age and race.

These factors can change (as well as the cause of hypertension)

- Obesity is one of the causes of hypertension. People who are obese have a higher risk of blood from 2 to 6 times higher than those with normal BMI

- Acquired diseases such as kidney, diabetes, thyroid adrenal disorders

- Hormonal conditions such as Cushing's syndrome (excess body produce steroid hormones)

- Eating salt, salt intake also cause increased blood pressure.

- Drink: Every day you drink 1 to 2 cups of wine will be at risk for high blood pressure than those who do not use alcohol

- Use multiple pharmacies: Regular use a number of drugs in the treatment of weight loss, cold and flu medicines, and some anti-allergic drugs increase the risk of high blood pressure

- Using birth control pills for a long time also increases the risk of hypertension
- Lack of movement, physical inactivity is also a cause of hypertension disease.
- The work requires sitting for long periods of illness and risk of hypertension
