摘要
Hypertension is a cardiovascular disease defined by an elevated systemic blood pressure. This devastating disease afflicts 30–40% of the adult population worldwide. The disease burden for hypertension is great, and it greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, there are a myriad of factors that result in an elevated blood pressure. These include genetic factors, a sedentary lifestyle, obesity, salt intake, aging, and stress. Although lifestyle modifications have had limited success, anti-hypertensive drugs have been moderately effective in lowering blood pressure. New approaches to control and treat hypertension include digital health tools and compounds that activate the angiotensin receptor type 2 (AT2), which can promote cardiovascular health. Nonetheless, research on hypertension and its management is vital for lessening the significant health and economic burden of this condition.
