Hypertension (HTN) or high blood pressure is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated. Hypertension puts strain on the heart, leading to hypertensive heart disease and coronary artery disease if not treated. Hypertension is also a major risk factor for stroke, peripheral arterial disease and is a cause of chronic kidney disease. The combination between 2 different classes of antihypertensive drugs gives adequate control of hypertension with minimal side effects
