High blood pressure damages arteries gradually over time and is one of the most powerful drivers of cardiovascular disease. Preventive cardiology focuses on early detection, vascular protection, and identifying plaque before symptoms appear.
Understanding High Blood Pressure
Hypertension affects nearly half of adults in the United States and remains one of the leading drivers of cardiovascular disease. The danger of high blood pressure is not simply the number on the monitor. The real issue is the gradual injury it causes to the vascular system.
Elevated pressure places mechanical stress on artery walls. Over time this contributes to endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness, and accelerated plaque formation.
