Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. One of the cardiovascular diseases is hypertension. Hypertension is a silent killer and rarely causes symptoms. Therefore, to reduce risk factors in cardiovascular disease, one of which is hypertension, it is necessary to have complementary therapy, one of which is cupping therapy.
