Early Diagnosis of Secondary Hypertension in South Asia: A Public Health Imperative
Description: PP35-38Subject(s): In: Indian Journal of Clinical Practice India IJCP Publications (P) Ltd.Summary: mortality. While essential hypertension forms the bulk of cases, a substantial proportion- estimated around 10%- is attributable to secondary hypertension. These cases are often underdiagnosed, particularly in resource-limited settings. Failure to detect and treat secondary causes early leads to resistant hypertension, target organ damage, and increased health care costs. This article emphasizes the critical need for awareness, early diagnosis, and structured management of secondary hypertension in South Asia. We propose policy-level interventions and region-specific solutions to address the systemic gaps and recommend an integrated, multidisciplinary approach.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Vol info | Status | Barcode | |
