Abstract

Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease and a leading risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Commonly referred to as the “Silent killer,” it often remains asymptomatic until it manifests as severe complications such as stroke, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and renal impairment. Despite the availability of effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, a large proportion of individuals with hypertension remain undiagnosed, particularly in developing countries like India, where healthcare access and awareness are variable.

The burden of hypertension in India has been steadily increasing due to rapid urbanization, changing dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, and rising stress levels. However, awareness, treatment, and control rates continue to remain suboptimal. Early detection through opportunistic screening is therefore essential to reduce disease burden and prevent long-term complications.
