Hypertension is one of the common diseases affecting general population. The World Health Organization has concluded that hypertension is the major factor responsible for the most deaths worldwide, 12.8% per year or more than seven million. Additionally hypertension is rated third on the list of factors responsible for the burden of disease during life, as measured by disability-adjusted life-years. The study, diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in the young constitute one of the major health challenges today, because of high percentage of potentially curable chance if the cause could be found. Indeed intensive study and investigations are required to unravel the underlying cause. Here we present a case of typical Takayasu arteritis presented with swelling in the right neck and hypertension.
高血压是影响普通人群的常见疾病之一。世界卫生组织得出结论，高血压是全球范围内导致死亡的主要因素，每年造成12.8%的死亡，即超过700万人死亡。此外，按伤残调整生命年衡量，高血压在导致一生疾病负担的因素中排名第三。由于如果能找到病因，年轻患者高血压有较高比例的潜在可治愈机会，因此年轻患者高血压的研究、诊断和治疗是当今主要的健康挑战之一。确实需要深入研究和调查以揭示潜在病因。在此，我们报告一例以右颈部肿胀和高血压为表现的典型大动脉炎病例。
