Hypertension is a very common heart condition which causes serious health issues to the people around the globe. Hypertension is usually caused by elevation of blood pressure, and it reduces the efficiency of the heart to pump the blood to other organs and this is due to ventricular hypertrophy. Central BioHub is the leading human biospecimen marketplace and offers around 1500 high quality serum and plasma samples for hypertension research.

What is hypertension and what causes it?
Low blood pressure (hypotension) is pressure so low it causes symptoms or signs due to the low flow of blood through the arteries and veins. When the flow of blood is too low to deliver enough oxygen and nutrients to vital organs such as the brain, heart, and kidney, the organs do not function normally and may be permanently damaged.Unlike high blood pressure, low blood pressure is defined primarily by signs and symptoms of low blood flow and not by a specific blood pressure number. Some individuals may have a blood pressure of 90/50 with no symptoms of low blood pressure and therefore do not have low blood pressure. However, others who normally have high blood pressure may develop symptoms of low blood pressure if their blood pressure drops to 100/60.High blood pressure (HBP) or hypertension means high pressure (tension) in the arteries. Arteries are vessels that carry blood from the pumping heart to all the tissues and organs of the body. High blood pressure does not mean excessive emotional tension, although emotional tension and stress can temporarily increase blood pressure.Normal blood pressure is below 120/80; blood pressure between 120/80 and 139/89 is called "pre-hypertension", and a blood pressure of 140/90 or above is considered high.
What is the real cause of high blood pressure?
Deposition of cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels leading to atherosclerosis is a cause of high BP. Other causes are obesity, stress, tension , renal failure
