En los valles y ciudades del Perú, una amenaza silenciosa recorre los cuerpos sin anunciarse: la hipertensión arterial avanza sin síntomas visibles mientras daña corazones, cerebros y riñones. Un nefrólogo del hospital EsSalud Salcedo advierte que esta invisibilidad es precisamente su mayor peligro, pues miles de personas desconocen que su presión arterial ya ha cruzado los umbrales del riesgo. La medicina ofrece una respuesta sencilla pero exigente: medir, cambiar, sostener.

Increased healthcare expenditures for uninsured/underinsured populations; growing demand for blood pressure monitoring devices and antihypertensive medications; potential shift toward healthier food products; higher out-of-pocket costs for chronic disease management in Peru's lower-income segments.
