On the track of the silent killer


A FEW weeks ago, I received an unexpected call from my sister. She said a nephew had just collapsed and died at the young age of 37. He had suffered from hypertension even though he lived an active lifestyle.

Increasingly, many Malaysians below 40 years of age are succumbing to hypertension, which is also known as the silent killer.
