Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Hypertension is a common public health challenge. Early detection and appropriate treatment is the solution to this problem. The main objective of this study was to identify abnormal Blood Pressure responses in male adult normotensives with and without a parental history of hypertension.
