Other Cardiovascular Problems When a person’s blood pressure is higher than normal, he or she has high blood pressure, or hypertension A condition in which the pressure of the blood on the walls of the blood vessels stays at a level that is higher than normal

Other Cardiovascular Problems High blood pressure can lead to a stroke A serious condition that occurs when an artery of the brain breaks or becomes blocked During a stroke, brain cells die from lack of oxygen.

Other Cardiovascular Problems High blood pressure can lead to a heart attack A condition in which blood flow to a part of the heart is greatly reduced or blocked If the blood is cut off for more than a few minutes, the heart muscles are damaged and die.

Treating Heart Disease Treatments for Heart Disease Angioplasty Medications Pacemakers Bypass Surgery Heart Valve Surgery Heart Transplants angioplasty A surgical procedure in which an instrument with a tiny balloon, drill bit, or laser attached is inserted into a blocked artery to clear a blockage

How to Prevent Heart Disease Tips for Preventing Heart Disease Eat healthful foods. Get regular physical exercise. Manage stress. Maintain a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI). Stay tobacco free. Body Mass Index (BMI) A formula you can use to determine if your weight is appropriate for you
