English term or phrase: primary hypertension
Does it refer to hypertension spotted in primary care or is it a type of hypertension? ¿Se traduce como hipertensión primaria? Thanks!

"diagnosticar hipertensión"


Explanation:
Definition of Primary Hypertension
Primary hypertension, commonly referred to as high blood pressure, raises your risk of serious health problems, such as heart attack and stroke. However, you can have it for years without showing symptoms, allowing it to go undetected, even when your blood pressure is dangerously high--an estimated one-third of the Americans with high blood pressure don't even know they're affected. The good news: Once primary hypertension is identified, you can take steps to control it and avoid related problems.

COMENTARIO
Al menos en España, jamás he oído mencionar en ámbitos médicos "hipertensión esencial".
De acuerdo a la definición, el término "primary hypertensión" hace referencia a la primera vez que a uno le detectan/ diagnostican hipertensión.
