|
There exists a very close connection between
high blood pressure and cholesterol. A high blood pressure shows that
pure blood is being pumped by heart with more force. This is mainly due
to cholesterol deposition. Most often, hypertension or high blood
pressure is the result of high level of cholesterol. A combination of
high cholesterol level and BP in old people may give way to Alzheimer.
Diastolic blood pressure and high level of cholesterol are the
main reasons for stroke. People who have more deposition of HDL and LDL
or cholesterol experience high blood pressure.
If you have gained
weight and you also have plasma cholesterol in your body, you are more
likely to develop high BP. Cholesterol deposition in arteries results in
high BP which in turn gives way to heart attacks.
So, patients of
diabetes and heart diseases are instructed to keep their cholesterol
level on check as resultant high blood pressure can worsen the
situation. High BP in combination with high cholesterol is main cause of
coronary heart diseases.
Although, high blood pressure may be a
result of other reasons as well but a good number of adults suffer from
cholesterol created high BP. This number is almost about 40 % in
America. Remember, by doing away with either one of them you can lower
down the other.
