■■ ¿Qué es la hipertensión

Hipertensión (presión arterial elevada) es el diagnóstico proporcionado cuando las lecturas de la presión arterial son sistemáticamente superiores a las nor- males. Se sabe que la hipertensión, si no se trata, puede provocar accidentes cerebrovasculares, ataques cardíacos y otras enfermedades. Se le conoce como “asesino silencioso” ya que no siempre produce síntomas de advertencia sobre la presencia del problema; la hipertensión puede tratarse si se diagnostica en forma temprana.
