The following information is about High Blood Pressure.
High Blood Pressure Defined
Many factors can help cause high blood pressure, including narrowing of the arteries, a high volume of blood or an irregular heart rhythm. High blood pressure makes the heart work harder to pump blood through the body. An overworked heart and arteries are more susceptible to disease, and people with high blood pressure have an increased risk for heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, eye damage and congestive heart failure. There is no cure for high blood pressure, but the patient can control it with proper medication, a healthy diet, and moderate exercise.
This definition is in context to Health Care. See more contextual defintions for High Blood Pressure.
