Part 4/8:
Heart Issues: The heart may become overworked, leading to heart failure.
Anecdotal Damage: High blood pressure mechanically damages the lining of blood vessels, making them susceptible to plaque buildup, which can result in heart attacks or strokes.
Kidney Problems: Uncontrolled hypertension can damage small blood vessels within the kidneys, potentially culminating in kidney disease or failure.
Aneurysms: High blood pressure increases the risk of aneurysms, which pose a significant risk if they rupture, especially in the brain.
