A one-page patient handout that explains how uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to heart attacks, stroke, and other health problems.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is called the silent killer for a reason. Treating high blood pressure can save more than your life.
Blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as blood travels from your heart, creates blood pressure. While blood pressure will normally rise and fall, if it stays high for too long and is untreated it can cause many issues.
