Blood is carried from the heart to all parts of the body in blood
vessels. Each time the heart beats, it pumps blood into the vessels.
Blood pressure is created by the force of blood pushing against the
walls of blood vessels (arteries) as it is pumped by the heart.
Hyper tension, also known as high or raised blood pressure, is
a condition in which the blood vessels have persistently raised
pressure.
the higher the pressure in blood vessels the harder the heart has to
work in order to pump blood. ilead to a heart attack, an enlargement of the heart and eventually
heart failure. Blood vessels may develop bulges (aneurysms) and
weak spots due to high pressure, making them more likely to clog
and burst. the pressure in the blood vessels can also cause blood to
leak out into the brain. this can cause a stroke. Hyperalso lead to kidney failure, blindness, rupture of blood vessels and
cognitive impairment.
