Diagnosed when your systolic reading is consistently over 140 mmHg and your diastolic is over 90 mmHg, hypertension requires proactive monitoring.

Why Hypertension Is Dangerous & Associated Risks

If It’s Manageable, Why Is Hypertension So Dangerous?

Often called a “silent killer” because it frequently has no warning signs or symptoms, hypertension is dangerous because it increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular diseases. It can damage arteries, leading to aneurysms, kidney failure, vision loss, and peripheral artery disease, and may even contribute to cognitive decline and dementia. 

Hypertension has a significant impact on your overall health, raising your risk for:

  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Vascular disease
  • Kidney disease or failure
  • Vision loss
  • Chest pain (angina)
  • Peripheral artery disease

 

Risk Factors for Developing Hypertension and High Blood Pressure

While genetic factors and certain medical conditions or medications play a role, lifestyle factors are the most common contributors. Risk factors include:
