Hypertension

Paper Summary:

This paper identifies the primary risk factors involved in hypertension, which include family history and culture, as well as genetic mutations that lead to various ailments. It is expected that upon diagnosis of this disorder, proper treatment will be pursued in order to reduce the incidence of long-term side effects, such as stroke and myocardial infarction.

From the Paper:

"Hypertension is a serious condition that is often introduced to the body through preexisting genetic factors and other related concerns. There are a number of treatments available to control hypertension, and oral medications are the preferred method. It is important to identify the underlying concerns related to hypertension in order to promote progress in reducing the incidence of disease in future years. The following discussion will identify such indicators as genetic mechanisms and factors, pathophysiology, symptoms, and treatments related to a diagnosis of hypertension. Approximately one-quarter of all adults in the United States have been diagnosed with hypertension, and the increased awareness of the condition in children has led to new opportunities for early diagnosis and treatment as a means of reducing future health problems as adults (Vogt 284)."
