Hypertension and heart disease

Hypertension and heart disease

Hypertension means that the pressure inside the arteries is too high. As the heart pumps against this pressure it must work harder. Over time, this can cause heart disease. Because there are often no symptoms associated with high blood pressure, people may have a problem without knowing it. Without treatment, symptoms of heart failure may develop. If hypertension is combined with cholesterol deposits in the blood vessels, the risk of heart attack and stroke increases.
