Blood pressure therapy

Every tenth German has high blood pressure. About half of those are even unaware of having high blood pressure, since there are usually no symptoms present in its initial stage. The dangers of the disease are often underestimated and the consequences can be fatal. A high arterial blood pressure damages the heart and vessels as well as the brain, eyes and kidneys. An elevated blood pressure hardens the flexible vascular walls, plaque develops and narrows the vessels (arteriosclerosis), which in the end dramatically increases the risk for heart attacks and strokes.
