Abstract

Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease, affecting approximatively 10% of adults. It may be defined as systolic arterial pressure greater than or equal to 160 mmHg and/or diastolic arterial pressure greater than 95 mmHg measured in quiet conditions at least on two occasions (WHO). Hypertension is a risk factor for ischaemic heart disease, congestive heart failure and stroke. Even borderline isolated systolic hypertension predicts a possible though more modest risk [1].
