Today on World Hypertension Day we are raising awareness of the huge unmet needs of patients living with hypertension around the world. Hypertension affects 1.3 billion people and has a reputation as a “silent killer” as it has no obvious symptoms. In addition, up to 50% of people with hypertension remain uncontrolled and at risk of complications such as heart attacks, strokes and even death. #WorldHypertensionDay #WhatScienceCanDo @AstraZeneca Learn more about the global burden of hypertension in this @World Health Organization report:

Today is World Hypertension Day – an important moment of reflection for a condition that affects 1.3 billion people worldwide. Hypertension is known as a “silent killer” as it has no obvious symptoms. In addition, up to 50% of people with hypertension remain uncontrolled and at risk of complications such as heart attacks, strokes and even death. With little innovation taking place in the last two decades, it’s clear that we need to do all we can to address these unmet needs and raise the bar for those living with hypertension around the world.  Learn more about the global burden of hypertension in this @WHO report: https://lnkd.in/eCfkSGgC   #WorldHypertensionDay #WhatScienceCanDo 

Hi Connections!!! Hypertension Hypertension, also known as high or raised blood pressure, is a condition in which the blood vessels have persistently raised pressure. Blood is carried from the heart to all parts of the body in the vessels. Each time the heart beats, it pumps blood into the vessels. Blood pressure is created by the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels (arteries) as it is pumped by the heart. The higher the pressure, the harder the heart has to pump. Hypertension is a serious medical condition and can increase the risk of heart, brain, kidney and other diseases. It is a major cause of premature death worldwide, with upwards of 1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women – over a billion people ­– having the condition. The burden of hypertension is felt disproportionately in low- and middle-income countries, where two thirds of cases are found, largely due to increased risk factors in those populations in recent decades. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking
