arterial hypertension (high arterial blood pressure)
Hi Roxanne,
From hipertensión arterial sistémica; hypertension in English, but most commonly just 'high blood pressure'. This last term could apply to other types of hypertension (venous, for example). I believe that when simply referring to "high blood pressure" this generally means high arterial blood pressure, but I don't have the degree of medical knowledge to endorse this more strightforward translation.
You will also find references to systemic hypertension, even systemic arterial hypertension, but I believe these are less common ways of referring to it.
Good luck,
Álvaro

hypertension (hy·per·ten·sion) (hi”pər-ten´shən) [hyper- + tension] high arterial blood pressure; various criteria for its threshold have been suggested, ranging from 140 mm Hg systolic and 90 mm Hg diastolic to as high as 200 mm Hg systolic and 110 mm Hg diastolic. Hypertension may have no known cause (essential or idiopathic h.) or be associated with other primary diseases (secondary h.).

See entry 2 for "blood pressure" below:
blood pressure 1. the pressure of blood against the walls of any blood vessel. 2. the pressure of the blood on the walls of the arteries, dependent on the energy of the heart action, the elasticity of the walls of the arteries, and the volume and viscosity of the blood. The maximum or systolic blood pressure occurs near the end of the stroke output of the left ventricle of the heart. The minimum or diastolic blood pressure occurs late in ventricular diastole. Mean blood pressure is the average of the blood pressure levels, and basic blood pressure is that during quiet rest or basal conditions. See also hypertension and hypotension.
