Global Hypertension Drugs Market 2016-2020

About Hypertension Drugs

Hypertension, or high blood pressure (BP), develops when there is too much pressure against the inner walls of blood vessels. Depending on the pressure exerted, hypertension can be classified as:
• PAH
• Systemic hypertension (commonly referred to as hypertension)

PAH, high BP in the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs, occurs when blood vessels narrow, making blood flow difficult. This creates pressure on the heart's right ventricle, which increases in size and becomes weaker due to the excess load, leading to heart failure. The normal pulmonary arterial pressure at rest is 14 mmHg and increases from 25 mmHg to 30 mmHg.
Systemic hypertension occurs when blood vessels that supply oxygenated blood to the body become narrower, creating pressure on the right side of the heart. Hypertension can lead to damaged organs and illnesses such as renal failure (kidney failure), aneurysm, heart failure, stroke, or heart attack. Hypertension is classified into two types:
• Primary or essential hypertension: It is defined as high BP with no known cause, and includes around 90%-95% of all hypertension cases
• Secondary hypertension: It is high BP with a known direct cause, including kidney disease, tumors, or birth control pills, and includes 5%-10% of all hypertension cases

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global hypertension drugs market to decline at a CAGR of (0.93) % during the period 2016-2020.
