Arterial Hypertension: The “silent killer”.
The incidence of Hypertension today ranges from 30-60% depending on age. Hypertension is the leading cause of death from cardiovascular events and because it is asymptomatic it is also called the "silent killer". The correct way of measuring blood pressure is very important for its diagnosis and treatment.
