Hypertention creates a tough environment that may cause a mechanical trauma to the intima layer of the blood vessel wall; upon such effect may leave a tear of intima and therefore predispose to atheroma.
Hypertension, which is a condition of higher than normal blood pressure, can lead to Heart disease and stroke (a condition related to a disease) because it causes undue stress on the cardiovascular system. The risk of developing any of these three can be reduced through proper diet and regular exercise.
No, elevated blood pressure is hypertension; atherosclerosis is fatty deposits in arterial walls.
yes because it all depends on how you live your life and your lifestyle. eat healthy and excersise then you won't have any problems. :)
With the heart because heart cells will begin to die.Stroke happens when blockage occurs in the arteries and you get a stroke.
It increases your blood pressure because the diameter of the vessels is smaller which requires more force for the blood to pump through them.
Yes, the buildup of plaque in the blood vessels is called atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is the build up of a waxy plaque on the inside of blood vessels. In Greek, athere means gruel, and skleros means hard. Atherosclerosis is often called arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis (from the Greek arteria,meaning artery) is a general term for hardening of the arteries. Arteriosclerosis can occur in several forms, including atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis predisposes a person to many different types of disease such as coronary artery disease, peripeheral arterial disease, mesenteric ischemia, and ischemic stroke to name some of the heavy hitters. These are all dangerous diseases that can be lethal.
blood pressure
That blood pressure is a little elevated, but nothing to be too concerned about, as long as you aren't having any other symptoms. Normal blood pressure is 120/80. But I would urge you to see your doctor to get it within normal range so you don't suffer from the long term problems associated with high blood pressure (hypertension).
no higher the blood pressure
If the blood pressure is elevated by psychological stress, the theraputic interaction with an animal can reduce the blood pressure by reducing the stress that causes it to be elevated.
essential hypertension
Atherosclerosis is affected by high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. A poor diet makes it more likely
Having slightly elevated blood pressure isn't always a bad thing. It's when blood pressure is too high that it causes issues. There are many healthy people who have slightly higher blood pressure.
Atherosclerosis is defined as the hardening of the inner walls of the blood vessels. It generally results in decreased blood circulation to the body and increase in blood pressure. It is completely different from Lung cancer.
Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. it means that you are overly hyper! ha ha ha ha ha ha Hypertension is actually a condition where there is elevated blood pressure in the body.
Generally speaking, when a female takes the blood pressure of a male, the reading is elevated.
High blood pressure that is difficult to treat
High blood pressure is defined as consistentently elevated blood pressure exceeding 140 over 90 mmHg -- a systolic pressure above 140 with a diastolic pressure above 90.YOur systolic is somewhat elevated,but not high enough to be overly concerned about.
Narrowing of the blood vessels is called atherosclerosis.
why not?
