secondary hypertension
Yesterday we talked about the most common type of hypertension: primary hypertension. Today we see the causes and risk factors in the development of secondary hypertension.

This type of hypertension suffer 20% of hypertensives and the most important cause of disease or appearance is a health situation that favors development.

Among the risk factors for secondary hypertension are:

  • Stress is another factor that can lead to secondary hypertension, as well as workaholism and hyperactivity.
