Heart Attack and Stroke: Blood pressure causes extra stress to the heart and the heart has to work more than usual. Therefore, the size of the heart becomes larger and smaller. This makes it work more hard to pump the blood to the heart. This directly affects the function of the heart. Sir H. N. Consultant Cardiac Surgeon at Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Center. Bipin Chandra Bhamre explained how hypertension affects the heart.
High blood pressure can gradually damage your heart, blood vessels and other organs. Many people may face serious health problems. High blood pressure can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.

High blood pressure is often known as Silent Killer. Initially, no symptoms are found and gradually it damages it. When your blood pressure rises, it puts extra pressure on your blood vessels, especially the arteries. In the long run, this continuous pressure can tighten and narrow the blood vessels. This can lead to difficulties in maintaining blood flow. Over time, this increases the risk of accumulating fat (plaque) in the blood vessels. Which can cause obstruction in the arteries. If there is a hindrance to the function of the heart, the risk of heart attack increases.
If hypertension is deteriorating in the brain function, it increases the likelihood of stroke. This can cause your heart to stress and the heart can work more than normal, and over time it can weaken.
