Health insurance:In France, 15 million people between the ages of 20 and 65 are affected by hypertension. Hypertension is not an illness, but being hypertensive without being followed represents a high risk to health. 1 hypertensive out of 2 is unknown and there are 7 million untreated and / or undetected hypertensive patients in France.
Hypertension, a major health issue
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is an abnormally strong pressure of the blood on the wall of the arteries. This is the most common cardiovascular disease. In France, 10.5 million people are receiving treatment for this disorder. Untreated
or untreated, hypertension increases the risk of cardiovascular disease
by 25% and is the first risk factor for stroke (Cerebrovascular
accident). It can also affect the functioning of the brain or kidneys. In most cases, no visible symptoms can detect the progression of hypertension. This is why hypertension has become in recent years a major health issue.Source: health insurance
