A Major Danger of High Blood Pressure
Thursday, December 10, 2009

Hypertension can cause a number of terrible diseases, one of which is coronary artery disease (CAD). This is a cluster of diseases involving the arteries that supply blood to your heart muscle. Changes to the cells lining these arteries reduce the ability of the arteries to dilate, which can cause chest pain (angina).
CAD also occurs when blood flow through your arteries becomes obstructed, usually because of atherosclerosis. When blood can’t flow freely to your heart, you can experience chest pain, a heart attack or irregular heart rhythms. People with high blood pressure who have a heart attack are more likely to die of that heart attack than are people who don’t have high blood pressure. You can find supplements to help lower blood pressure naturally.
