Best Answer

Although high blood pressure is a very important contributing problem or risk factor for heart attacks, there is no specific blood pressure that is required to have a heart attack. If there is a blockage of a blood vessel that supplies blood to the heart, due to either a fatty deposit of cholesterol, or a blood clot, a heart attack will result.
