What is the correlation between hypertension and heart disease?
Hypertension is a condition in which blood flows with a lot of force that is against the artery walls; commonly it is known as high blood pressure. The blood pressure is represented by two numbers the first is known as the systolic number that shows the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart contracts while the diastolic number shows the pressure when the heart rests between the beats. The normal blood pressure is usually 120/ 80 mmHg and a blood pressure above it is considered as high blood pressure for example 180/120 mmHg. Prolonged condition of hypertension increases the risk of developing a heart disease or stroke because the constant high blood pressure damages the inner lining of the artery and puts a lot of pressure on the heart. This type of damage to the artery wall makes arteries more susceptible to plaque ( which is the deposition of cholesterol caused due to high blood cholesterol level) that might cause blockage which further reduces the blood flow; as a result it might lead to a heart attack, heart failure or stroke. Further, hypertension can be divided according to the readings such as an elevated blood pressure which means that the systolic blood pressure is 120- 129 mmHg whereas the diastolic pressure can be less than 80 mmHg. Next, in stage one hypertension systolic pressure is as high as 130 mmHg while the diastolic blood pressure can be above 90 mmHg. In stage two of hypertension the blood pressure can be above 140 mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure can go beyond 100mmHg. Crores of people suffer from hypertension all across the globe and many of them suffer from heart diseases due to their condition. Therefore, it becomes absolutely necessary that people who suffer from hypertension must take care of their blood pressure by taking regular medication, proper diet and practicing exercise. Further, people who are suffering from hypertension must go for regular health checkup to prevent any kind of heart disease that might occur in future, as early diagnosis helps in providing appropriate preventive measures and better treatment opportunities that reduces the risk of a heart attack.
