Hypertensive Heart disease occurs when chronically elevated blood pressure adversely affects the heart. This causes the heart muscle to thicken, enlarge and reduce the amount of blood it pumps. If untreated, it becomes heart failure.
This condition also reduces the heart's blood supply which causes chest pain, or angina, and heart attacks. Elevated pressure thickens the blood vessels and increases the risk for cholesterol deposits in the artery walls, a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. You can reduce your risk by maintaining healthy normal blood pressure levels.
