Essentiaalinen primaari verenpainetauti?
Vastaus:
Essential or primary hypertension, known in Finnish as "essentiaalinen primaari verenpainetauti," refers to high blood pressure that does not have a known secondary cause. This condition is characterized by consistently elevated blood pressure readings, and while the exact cause is often not identifiable, several factors can contribute to its development. These can include genetic predisposition, obesity, high dietary salt intake, physical inactivity, and chronic stress.
Management of essential hypertension typically involves lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet (e.g., the DASH diet), regular physical activity, weight management, and reducing alcohol intake and smoking. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help control blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications such as heart disease and stroke.
