Etymology

The word 'hypertensive' is derived from the prefix 'hyper-', meaning 'above normal' or 'excessive,' and the root word 'tension,' which refers to pressure. The term is used in the medical field to categorize conditions associated with elevated blood pressure. The concept of hypertension has been recognized for centuries, but the term itself gained prominence in the 20th century as medical understanding of cardiovascular diseases evolved. The relationship between high blood pressure and various health risks, including heart disease and stroke, has led to increased awareness and diagnosis of hypertensive patients. Over time, extensive research has led to better treatment methods and management strategies for individuals with hypertension.
