Hypertension (HT) is defined as a rise of arterial BP with, a systolic BP more than 160 mmHg and diastolic BP more than 90 mmHg. It is a preventable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) like coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. Studies have shown that
25% of children with one hypertensive parent and 50% of children with both parents being
hypertensive eventually develops the condition. HRV measurement and quantification of its spectral components provide powerful information of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Studies have shown a decreased RMSSD and increased SDNN post autonomic tests.. It can be concluded that offsprings of Hypertensive parents tend to have some degree of autonomic imbalance before the actual onset of essential hypertension.
