Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, occurs when blood puts excessive pressure on the walls of the arteries. Many individuals show no noticeable symptoms, earning it the nickname “silent killer,” while others may experience headaches, dizziness, or shortness of breath. If uncontrolled, hypertension can lead to serious health issues, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.

Ongoing clinical trials are focused on developing advanced treatments to better manage blood pressure, prevent complications, and support long-term cardiovascular health.
