AHA: Get blood
pressure checked
High blood pressure is
a major modifiable risk factor
for heart disease and stroke, yet
many don't even know they
have the condition. This Feb-
ruary, American Heart Month,
the American Heart Associa-
tion is encouraging Housto-
nians to get their blood pres-
sures checked.
"It's important for
Houstonians to know if they
have high blood pressure," says
Anne Dougherty, M.D., presi-
dent of the American Heart
Association's Houston Divi-
sion. "High blood pressure, or
hypertension, is often called the
'silent killer' because the con-
dition usually has no
symptoms. If untreated, how-
ever, high blood pressure can
lead to heart disease, stroke,
kidney damage and other medi-
cal problems."
"The good news is
people can take action to con-
trol high blood pressure. First
they need to know what is high
blood pressure."
Dougherty explained
that blood moves through the
body in blood vessels called
arteries and veins. When the
heart beats, it squeezes blood
into the arteries. The blood
pushes against the insides of
the arteries. The arteries also
press against the blood flow.
"This is blood pres-
sure. It's that simple," she said.
"If your arteries become thicker
or they press too hard, your
blood pressure may be too
high."
To smoke also in-
creases the risk of peripheral
vascular disease, which is the
narrowing of blood vessels that
carry blood to the leg and arm
muscles. If a blood clot blocks
the narrowed artery, the result
could be damage or loss of an
arm or leg.
Smokers with high
blood pressure, high blood cho-
lesterol (or both) increase their
risk of heart attack. The more
cigarettes a person smokes, the
greater the risk of heart attack.
"All of these are good
reasons to resolve to quit smok-
ing," Dougherty says. "But if
you're not motivated to quit for
yourself, consider your family
and friends. Environmental to-
bacco smoke, also called pas-
sive or second-hand smoke, is
a serious health hazard for non-
smokers, especially children."
