Description

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of blood pushing against the artery walls is consistently too high. This results in the heart working harder than it needs to pump blood. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). In those with hypertension, the blood pressure reading is 130/80 mm Hg or higher, 130/80 mm Hg and under being what’s considered normal (Mayo Clinic). The purpose of this study is to pinpoint and evaluate the pathogenicity of ABCA3 variants associated with hypertension.
