Hypertension, also referred to as high blood pressure, is a persistent medical condition distinguished by heightened levels of blood pressure in the arteries. Blood pressure denotes the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the blood vessels as the heart pumps it throughout the body.
A "brain attack" also known as a stroke develops when blood flow to the brain tissue is blocked. Brain hypoxia (low levels of oxygen distribution in the tissues) develops in many ways which we will discuss below. In this instance, time is of the essence as brain cells die rather quickly. The prevalence of stroke is placed as the second leading cause of death worldwide, thus making it an important topic of discussion.
