Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a significant public health concern globally, including in India. It's a condition where the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. One of the most severe complications of hypertension is stroke. Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, either due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or a burst blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). In India, where the burden of hypertension is high, understanding the connection between hypertension and stroke is crucial for public health interventions and individual health management. This article delves into the intricacies of stroke and its complications among adults with hypertension in India.
