Question

what does the term hypertension mean? persistent normal blood pressure persistent low blood pressure persistent high blood pressure no blood pressure

Explanation:

Hypertension is a medical condition. The prefix "hyper -" means high. In the context of blood pressure, hypertension refers to a state where blood pressure is persistently elevated above the normal range. Normal blood pressure has a certain standard range. When it is persistently high (not just a one - time spike), it is called hypertension. Low blood pressure is called hypotension, and having no blood pressure is an extreme and usually fatal situation that is not what hypertension means.

Answer:

persistent high blood pressure
