This compared to 16% of people hospitalised with flu and 4% of those not hospitalised for flu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2018Given the sheer number of people affected by Covid-19 compared to influenza, these statistics are alarming, and suggest that many more patients will likely develop high blood pressure in the future, which may present a major public health burden,\u2019 said senior author Dr Tim Q Duong, from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2018These findings should heighten awareness to screen at-risk patients for hypertension after Covid-19 illness to enable earlier identification and treatment for hypertension-related complications, such as cardiovascular and kidney disease.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Blood pressure is recorded by measuring the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart is pumping blood around the body and the pressure between heartbeats, known as the systolic and diastolic pressure.
