Blood pressure is a measurement of the force of blood against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood throughout the body. It is an important indicator of cardiovascular health, with high blood pressure (hypertension) being a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and other health complications. Research in this area focuses on understanding the causes of high blood pressure, developing treatments to lower blood pressure, and identifying strategies for preventing hypertension and its associated health risks. Studies may also explore the link between blood pressure and other health conditions, such as kidney disease and diabetes. Ultimately, the goal of research in this area is to improve our understanding of blood pressure regulation and management in order to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease worldwide.
