hypertension
'(Arterial) hypertension' is used much more frequently than 'hypertonia'. See one of an overwhelming number of examples at http://www.escardio.org/Guidelines/Clinical-Practice-Guideli...
'Elepotonie' is probably just another transcription error, as in your other questions.

hypertension vs. hypertonia (in English)
Definitions:
Hypertension:
Hypertension: High blood pressure, defined as a repeatedly elevated blood pressure exceeding 140 over 90 mmHg -- a systolic pressure above 140 or a diastolic pressure above 90.
http://www.medicinenet.com/image-collection/hypertension_pic...
http://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-hypertension-htn-def...
Hypertonia
Hypertonia: Increased tightness of muscle tone and reduced capacity of the muscle to stretch caused by damage to the motor nerve pathways in the central nervous system. Untreated hypertonia can lead to loss of function and deformity.
