Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular problems across the globe because of contributing factors such as obesity. Hypertension is also known as ‘the silent killer’ as it does not display any major symptoms initially, and by the time it is diagnosed, the damage to critical organs is already made. Hence, if not diagnosed and controlled properly, hypertension can result in major damage to blood vessels in the eye, thickening of the heart muscle and heart attacks, hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis), kidney (renal) failure and strokes.

Hence, there is an urgent need to create widespread awareness about this silent killer who is already on the prowl for the next kill.  Screening, diagnosing, treating, and controlling hypertension early in its course can significantly reduce the risk of developing heart-attacks, kidney failure or strokes.
