Hypertension is a medical condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. In humans, a systolic blood pressure of 140mmHg or higher, and/or a diastolic blood pressure of ≥90mmHg is considered excessive and classified as hypertension. Left untreated, hypertension can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
