Hypertension is one of the major risk factor for morbidities and mortalities associated with coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, stroke and compromised renal function. It has become more common in developing countries like India. The prevalence of this disease in the year 2000 was 60.4 million males and 57.8 million females. Studies have shown that, the prevalence might still increase to 107.3 million males and 106.2 million females by the year 2025. Unlike that of previous misconceptions; regarding hypertension affecting only the urban population, now there is no disparity between the transition zones. The reason for this may be due to lack of awareness among patients, poor health care facility systems, lack of physicians to follow the standard treatment guidelines for management of hypertension, unhealthy life styles, non- compliance, poor dietary habits etc.
