The Link Between Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease - Does it Exist?


The "silent killer" is what many people call hypertension. Cardiovascular disease and hypertension are attached at the hip, so the name is well earned. High blood pressure can and often goes untreated, typically due to mild symptoms that are not addressed, until one day the heart suddenly gives out. This why we all hear stories of healthy 40 year old people dying tragically from a massive heart attack.

What Are The Statistics Saying About Cardiovascular Disease And Hypertension?

The statistics show that three in every five people who die of heart attack did previously suffer from hypertension. It is true that cardiovascular disease and hypertension are closely inter-related as anyone who suffers from moderate and severe hypertension fall into high risk group for cardiovascular disease.

This happens because the hypertension puts too much pressure on the heart, which after some time, unless the blood pressure is brought under control, it simply collapses under the stress. There are plenty of warning signals when you suffer from hypertension, however it is to easy to ignore these signs due to various reasons, i.e. lack of time, unable to realize their importance, inability to slow down due to high demand of professional life, etc.

Can You Control Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension?

Though there is medication to control hypertension this needs to be taken regularly and seriously which very few people do. Besides, you need to change your life style without which there is little chance that you would get rid of high blood pressure. You need to eat healthy, exercise daily, cut down stress levels, avoid alcohol and stop smoking.

This is a very long list, the alternative of which would be a life like a vegetable followed by a stroke (caused by thickening and narrowing of the arteries) or plain death followed by cardiac failure. If you want to live and lead a qualitative life, you need to take full control of your life or face the terrible consequences.

Much work is being done to find a permanent cure for hypertension but the answers are not there yet. Hopefully we will see a drug that will stop hypertension in our lifetime.
