Secondary blood pressure means that the hypertension is a result of other medical conditions; for example kidney disease or tumors. Chronic hypertension can lead to heart failure, strokes, aneurysm and chronic renal failure. Unless hypertension is treated there is a great danger of losing one’s life.
