Silent Killer - Understanding Why Hypertension is called theSilent Killer Disease
High blood pressure is widely known as the “silent killer”. Statistics have it that out of the
fifty million Americans afflicted with hypertension or high blood pressure, only an estimatedof thirty million had proper diagnosis.In fact, most of those who were diagnosed did not visit their doctors to find cure ortreatment for high blood pressure, but merely to acquire medical certification for a clean billof health for insurance or employment purposes.In some other cases, they may have submitted themselves to treat the symptoms of otherdisorders like heart attack, kidney failure, or other problems related to high blood pressure.Essential Hypertension and Secondary hypertensionHigh blood pressure can be an offshoot of another major problem. If the proper treatmentmethods of the main disease had been observed, blood pressure could have been preventedas a resulting complication. Based on statistics, less than 10% of diagnosed high bloodpressure stem from another disorder and this is known as secondary hypertension.On the other hand, the common form of hypertension we usually encounter is calledessential hypertension. It is often the result of several factors such as heredity, lack of exercises, stress, excessive weight, or poor diet.Except for heredity, the other causes are diet related wherein the excessive intakes of saltresulting to imbalance between sodium and potassium is the most common contributingfactor.

However, high blood pressure does not happen overnight, but slowly creeps into yoursystem. It may even take years to develop since the body is trying to adapt to the changes.Hence, the rest of the 50 million included in the survey but who have not submittedthemselves for medical examination are endangering themselves from being victimized bythe
 “silent killer” that is high blood pressure.
What Causes High Blood Pressure?To understand the acuteness of this disease, you should have a thorough understanding of what high blood pressure is, as well as the factors that causes it to take place. Controllinghigh blood pressure requires you to monitor your own blood pressure readings. For thispurpose, it will be useful for you to know that the normal blood pressure among adults is120 /80, read as 120 systolic and 80 as diastolic.
The heart’s functi
on is to purify and pump out blood for distribution to the different bodycells, tissues, muscles, and organs. In order to pump out the blood, a force known assystolic is needed by the blood to surge forward into the blood stream. The diastolic on theother hand is the pump pressure for producing fresh supply of blood.However, certain dietary factors may cause some viscosity to our blood, or may harden orconstrict our arterioles or render a great number of arterioles to be less receptive to theblood being pumped in, causing peripheral resistance to the flow of blood. As a result, certain hormones will be released in an attempt to correct the impediments, orhelp the body cope with the imbalances and changes. If the pressure points will not berelieved, it will rise to a dangerous level, blood will be pushed just anywhere in order to find
a release. This condition is simply known as hypertension or high blood pressure, the “silentkiller” disease.
  A deeper understanding of the blood circulation process and the effects of an unhealthylifestyle, can lead us to a wealth of information on how we can avoid becoming a victim of this "silent killer".
