HYPERTENSION AWARENESS AND ITS INFLUENCE HORMONAL MECHANISM LEADING TO CHRONIC DISEASE.

Hypertension remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and significantly impacts the risk of all major cardiovascular events which includes sudden cardiac death, stroke, coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, heart failure, and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Important advances in our understanding of its pathophysiology contributed to clarifying the complex origins of the disease, involving dysregulation of multiple homeostatic systems influencing not only blood pressure but also the progression of end- organ damage related to hypertension. Growing evidence suggests that the pathophysiology of hypertension results from complex interactions between environmental and genetic factors, resulting in different risks and age of onset of the disease within the general population. Also, it provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms involved in the aetiopathogenesis of hypertension, highlighting their relative importance in different forms of hypertension
