Overview

Hypertension
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a chronic condition in which the force of blood against artery walls remains consistently elevated. Over time, uncontrolled hypertension can damage the heart, kidneys, brain, eyes, and blood vessels. Because it often develops without obvious symptoms, it is commonly called the silent killer.
Avascular Necrosis
Avascular necrosis occurs when blood supply to bone is reduced, causing bone death.
