Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
These days, hypertension has become very serious health issue as it is estimated that over 1 billion people are suffering from this disease worldwide. It has been estimated that by the year 2025, this will reach to about 1.56 billion people. It is also estimated that in future, almost 1 out of 3 adults having age more than 20 will be suffering from hypertension. One of the reports of World Health Organization has suggested that blood pressure is the number one attributable risk for the death throughout the world. For the current study, 33 patients were included to measure hypertension by using Sphygmocor device. The age of included patients was between 40 to 85 years. The evaluation of hypertension was performed by using Sphygmocor device.
