Answer: Hypertension is known as a “silent killer” because it does not show early symptoms to alert patients of the elevated pressure.  

Explanation:

The risk of serious problems such as stroke, congestive heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure increases in patients when it does not show symptoms in patients.
