Solution

Ethan's higher-than-normal blood pressure indicates that he suffers from hypertension. Hypertension is a medical condition where the force of the blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. This can lead to various health problems, including heart disease and stroke.

The other options listed (arrhythmia, angina, and atherosclerosis) refer to different cardiovascular issues:

  1. Arrhythmia: An irregular heartbeat that can lead to various complications but is not directly indicated by high blood pressure.
  2. Angina: Chest pain or discomfort due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscles, which may sometimes be related to high blood pressure but is not solely defined by it.
  3. Atherosclerosis: A condition characterized by the buildup of fats, cholesterol, and other substances in and on the artery walls but is also not specifically defined by high blood pressure alone.

In conclusion, Ethan's condition of high blood pressure is best described as hypertension.
