The Mayo Clinic describes hypertension as the "silent killer" because you can have it for years without knowing it. In fact, about 50 million Americans have high blood pressure, but about 30 percent of them don't know it.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a medical condition where a persons blood pressure is chronically elevated. In the medical community, hypertension is commonly referred to as arterial hypertension.
Persistent hypertension is one of the main risk factors contributing to strokes, heart attacks, heart failure and arterial aneurysms, and is a leading cause of chronic renal failure.
