A healthy lifestyle, low alcohol intake, non-smoker, low fat diet, you get the picture.
A proportion of families however, show inherited high BP with no obvious confounding factors, i.e smokers, overweight.
Drugs can also lower BP for chronic sufferers, such as those slowing heart rate, Beta-blockers, Ca channel blockers, and those which lower blood volume. Lowering blood volume reduces pre-load and then after-load of the heart, essentially reducing the work of the heart, and as a consequence, it will contract less forcefully at a lower arterial pressure.
