arterial hypertension/hypertension
I don't do Danish.
However, HA could = heart attack in Danish abbreviations, but never in English ones.
With hypercholesterolaemia coming after the HA, I would give more credence to arterial hypertension, particularly as there are many, many English sites with hypercholesterolaemia and hypertension closely linked, particularly in relation to people with diabetes.
For what it's worth...

Lingua Danica
: Ja, det er helt gængs at bruge udtrykket hypertensio arterialis, hvis det er på en kardiologisk afdeling, hvor sekretærerne er vant til udtrykket, er det oplagt at skrive HA.

: Rather than Latin, it could also be an EN loanword, something you see a lot in Danish medical docs.
