High blood pressure is one of the most common — and most underestimated — threats to heart health. Many people live with elevated blood pressure for years without knowing it.

Why High Blood Pressure Is Dangerous

When blood pressure remains high:

• The heart must work harder to pump blood
• Blood vessel walls become damaged
• Arteries stiffen and narrow
• Risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure increases

Even slightly elevated readings can raise long-term cardiovascular risk.

Who Is at Risk

High blood pressure can affect anyone, but risk increases with:

• Family history of hypertension
• Chronic stress
• Excess salt intake
• Lack of physical activity
• Smoking
• Overweight or obesity

Importantly, symptoms are often absent until complications occur.

Early Detection Makes a Difference

Regular blood pressure monitoring allows:

• Early lifestyle interventions
• Timely medical treatment
• Prevention of irreversible heart damage
