Abstract

The worldwide prevalence of hypertension is expected to increase from approximately 1 billion individuals in 2000 to over 1.5 billion in 2025 and is currently the most frequent medical diagnosis in the USA [1]. Not only is hypertension a powerful risk factor for cardiovascular disease, doubling the risk of mortality from coronary heart disease and stroke for every 20 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure and 10 mmHg increase in diastolic pressure, but also is closely linked to the risk of developing type-2 diabetes.
