Concept introduction:

Hypertension is otherwise known as high blood pressure, which is a long-term clinical condition. This condition is clearly defined as blood pressure increase in the arteries. Blood pressure is classified into two types, one is primary and the other is secondary hypertension. The systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure are the two measurements that express the blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure is otherwise known as maximum blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure is otherwise known as minimum blood pressures.
