In France, almost one in three adults is affected by high blood pressure. This represents around 17 million people. However, this problem remains largely underestimated. Only half of them are detected and, among them, only a quarter follows an effective treatment. The good news is that the diagnosis is simple and that there are more than 60 effective and well tolerated treatments to control it. So why this discrepancy between solutions and reality? How do you know if you are hypertensive? Can we trust the connected devices to measure your voltage? What are the possible causes and treatments and, above all, how to live calmly with this disease? To answer all these questions, Margaux de Fouville and Alain Ducardonnet receive Jean-Jacques Mourad, professor of internal medicine at the Franco-British hospital and hypertension specialist.
