Hypertension (or high blood pressure) is called the silent killer because it often has no symptoms. High blood pressure increases your risk of heart disease and stroke, so knowing your blood pressure numbers is important. This class provides information on normal blood pressure values, what causes high blood pressure, who is most likely to develop it, and ways to keep your blood pressure within normal limits.
