Study Notes

Cardiovascular Disorders: Hypertension

There are two main types:
* Primary (Essential) Hypertension: This is the most common type, making up about 90-95% of cases. There's no identifiable cause; it develops gradually over many years, often linked to genetics, age, and lifestyle factors.
* Secondary Hypertension: This type has an identifiable underlying cause, such as kidney disease, thyroid problems, certain medications, or obstructive sleep apnea. Treating the underlying condition can often resolve the hypertension.
